GREENFIELDS - Physical Description 1
The homestead at 'Greenfields' is a large double fronted late Victorian symmetrical timber villa. It has a corrugated iron M-hip roof with projecting gables at the rear on both sides, each with decorative timber trusswork. The separate return convex verandah between the projecting gables is supported on timber posts with an arched ladder valance (the valance to the front elevation is original - the valances to the side elevations have been added) and has a gablet over the entrance faced with pressed metal with an Art Nouveau pattern. The original four-panel door has sidelights and highlights and is flanked by tripartite windows. Other original windows in the side elevations are double hung sash and there is a further tripartite window in the south-facing gable. There are three corbelled brick chimneys.
The house has been restored sympathetically. Minor alterations include the replacement of windows in north side walls and projecting gable, and the replacement of a door to the verandah from the south facing gable with a window. A small addition has been made at the rear.
The house is set within a well-established cottage style garden, developed by the current (2014) owners, which provides an appropriate setting. An early planting is the Norfolk Island Pine, situated centrally in front of the house.
