SEDDON HILL - Physical Description 1
Located on a rural property, this Edwardian timber farm house is set high above and close to the present road alignment. It is double-fronted and asymmetrical, with a high gabled-hip roof extending to form a return verandah on two sides. The simple timber valence and balustrade may be original. The front is well-detailed, with the projecting gable featuring a jettied upper section, set on timber brackets over a rectangular bay window.
A large oak is close to the front of the house, and a pine to the rear.
