HOUSE - Physical Description 1
33 Saxon Street is a two storey polychrome brick mansion, built on bluestone footings, and asymmetrical in form with projecting bays to on the east and north elevations and a return verandah on the east, north and elevations. The house has a hipped slate roof, with square and scallop-edged slates, polychrome brick chimney stacks and tall chimney pots. The verandah has a cast iron columns, decorative frieze and balustrading to the first floor balcony. Simple horizontal iron bar balustrading runs around much of the verandah. Windows are a combination of timber-framed double-hung sashes and casements. On the ground floor the window to the east of the bay is a tripartite configuration with the sidelights moulded panels rather than glazed. The wing to the south-west corner is distinguished by corbelled red brick chimneys with terracotta pots, and may be of a later date.
Much of the brickwork to the rear of the house has been rendered or painted, and a carport of with corrugated iron roofing has been added to the south-east corner. On the west elevation, an external staircase provides access to the balcony, which has been partially enclosed with vertically-laid painted timber panelling. Some of the balustrading has been replaced on this elevation. On the north elevation, a covered walkway at first floor level connects an adjacent building (c. 1960s) with the balcony of the house. Many of the windows of the house are covered with aluminium security screens.
