House - Physical Description 1
This Georgian derived design features a simple hipped roof projecting forward to create a front wing. The house has simple window facings with shutters and a front porch with Tuscan columns. A simple wrought iron balustrade creates a deck above. The walls are finished in rough cast cement, rendered smooth for the classical detailing of the porch and banded work on the main building. In 1992, the building appeared to retain the original front timber gates and possibly the original fence within the ivy hedge. This has now been replaced with a new timber fence of a sympathetic design. A central pedestrian gateway and axial approach to the front entry has replaced the winding asymmetrical path to the front door. This building is apparently intact externally.
