House - Physical Description 1
It is likely that this house was built in 1898 for E.A, Lester. The house has a central bay window and a large octagonal lantern with a steeply pitched roof. A graceful verandah with light cast brackets and frieze is supported on slender columns. The house is a notable example of this period of architecture and the lantern is special note. The building is intact externally and situated in an appropriate garden setting.

A notable feature of the house is an octagonal lantern with a steeply pitched roof finished with a turned wooden finial. The lantern, which presumably lights a hall or central, has windows edged with narrow margins of coloured glass.
The glass is a good example of this period of architecture, and the lantern is especially notable. Externally the house is intact. The building had a well maintained garden complete with a clipped hedge, which provides an appropriate setting.
