    (As requested by the owner, this property was viewed from the boundary of the property. The garden is heavily planted and we were unable to assess the house in any depth.)
    
    An Art Deco-influenced, two storey house set within a mature landscaped garden set well back from the road. The entrance is marked by a set of double iron gates and the property is bounded by a low freestone fence. The approach to the house is along a tree-lined curved driveway.
    
    The two storey house, dating from c.1920 has smooth rendered parapet walls with horizontal continuous windows and minimal ornamentation, typical of early modernist architecture.

  The house was built in c.1939 and was originally called 'Llanhydroch'. Designed by architect J.H. Esmond Dorney, who had completed his articles with Walter Burleigh Griffin in Melbourne about the mid-1920s. The client was H. Earl Coles (of Coles and Garrard, spectacle makers). Dorney had a successful sole practice from 1929 to 1941, when he enlisted for WW2. After the war Dorney relocated to Hobart and had a long career as a highly individual Modernist architect.
