House and outbuildings - Physical Description 1
1044 McIvor Highway is a large house of painted masonry built in the Domestic Queen Anne style, however it appears as if a large wing was added to an earlier house. This remodelling would have added the elaborate masonry porch leading to the front door and the frieze to the verandah. There is a discrepancy in eaves height that indicates a lower floor to ceiling height in the older section. The projecting gable is designed with a square box window and the gable end has faux strapping in brickwork. A circular window is a feature to the Edwardian wing. A number of finely modelled chimneys are an integral part of the unusual composition of this house. The numerous date palm trees are also notable. There is a large extension to the side of this house.
There is also a large timber outbuilding, probably used as a shearing shed, and other farm buildings.
