ORCHARD HOUSE, BARN & TREES (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
This house is a c.1920s bungalow with face clinker brick to half height and a roughcast render
finish above. It has a gabled terracotta tiled roof with timber shingle infill and simple brick
chimneys. There is a small projecting gabled bay to the front adjacent to a recessed entry porch
with an arched opening. There is a modern carport and timber clad addition to the side and rear.
The house is set within a mature garden, which includes mature Monterey Cypress (Cupressus
macrocarpa) and pines along the front boundary. Views of the house are obscured by a recent high
mini-orb fence.
The property also contains a double-storey outbuilding which appears to be contemporary with the
house. It has rendered walls on a face brick plinth and a gabled roof with a dormer window and
recent cladding.
The house is adjacent to another Inter-War house at 46-48 Old Warrandyte Road, which is also set
within mature Pine and Cypress trees and includes a remnant orchard at one side.
