There is a gum tree on the left front side and a large tree is visible behind the house. The house is close to the street. There is a picket fence with a gap in the centre for entrance. The pickets on the right of the entrance are higher at the edges and curve down in the centre. There is a small boy Reg Veitch standing in a gap in the fence. Reg is wearing a dark jacket with a wide light coloured collar and knee length trousers with dark socks and boots.
