Kingussie - Physical Description 1
The elegant Victorian house is located on a large 5316 square metre site, within a magnificent established garden and is thought to be largely intact to its original Italianate villa design although permission to inspect was denied.
The old house is set well back from Langmore Lane and is shown with stables and other outbuildings at the rear. It is described as a 'large old solid brick' house with four bedrooms, kitchen and two bathrooms. (1)
The plantings on this property are outstanding in size and variety. The neighbouring houses at 46 and 34-36 Langmore Lane also have conspicuous plantings which may once have been part of this property. This group of residential plantings are an important aesthetic element, and contribute to the historical landscape of the area. Trees identified in this study as having individual local significance include a large oak (Quercus canariensis), an elm (Ulmus x hollandica) and a gum (Eucalyptus globulus) at 46 Langmore Lane (see Trees and Gardens section). Kingussie contains a large cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) and a large pine (Pinus radiata) in poor condition. The property at 34-36 Langmore Lane, once possibly part of Kingussie, contains for oaks (Quercus robur) which contribute to the streetscape. (2)
