 The remains consist of the homestead building itself which is a single room, cypress pine and corrugated iron structure encircled by verandahs; a flagstone floor; a scatter of corrugated iron, sandstone blocks and other metal objects; and a set of stockyards constructed using bush timber poles and barbed wire

The homestead was established in 1928 to function as an outstation on Stapleton Station, then owned by Harry Sargent and his family.It was constructed using bush timber (cypress pine) and iron in the form of a large central room that could be closed up with verandahs around the edges.Blyth Homestead is one of the few existing examples of this type of building which was formerly common on NT pastoral leases.
