House at 3 Taylors Road - Physical Description 1
A symmetrical timber double-fronted Italianate house, with a hipped-roof. There are two large chimneys with corbelled tops, and an eaves frieze with panels between bracket pairs, of concave fretwork. The verandah has a hipped-roof with a cast-iron lace frieze over a rail with cast-iron lace brackets and cast-iron posts. The central of the four verandah bays is set forward as a gable, with a finial. Windows are tripartite. There are mature trees.
House at 3 Taylors Road - Intactness
Appears good, but it is possible the building was relocated here. The diamond latticed balustrade is recent. The chimneys have been painted.
