Greenacres - Physical Description 1
The house overlooks spectacular views to the north from raised foundations. The broad roof covering the return verandah creates a dominant form, overshadowing dark stained weatherboard walls and thick timber posts, and giving the house a Californian Bungalow character. Later extensions in timber have been added to the side and rear of the building. An outbuilding has been converted as a garage and accommodation. Established plantings of oaks, elms and poplars surround the house. Greenacres is set on a rural allotment of around 8.6 hectares.
