Lufra - Physical Description 1
A single-storey weatherboard house with a corrugated iron roof and a bull-nosed front verandah set between two gabled bays. The verandah has cast iron valance and the gable ends have roughcast infill and bargeboards with curved ends. The gabled bays also contain paired timber-framed double-hung sash windows with transom lights and decorative curved metal hoods. A hipped roof wing to the left hand side of the house has exposed rafters at the eaves and is possibly an early addition. There is a recent carport with mock period details and weatherboard additions to the rear of the house. The timber picket fence along the front boundary is also relatively recent.
