Isaac's Cottage - Physical Description 1
This four(?)-roomed cottage, referred to as Isaac's cottage(currently named Bumpkin Bears), is a rare surviving example of a cottage built using traditional bush carpentry skills. These skills are evident in the split weatherboards which still clad the exterior of the house, and the adzed timbers visible as the framing of the verandah. The cottage has a gabled-roof, originally clad with shingles (it is not known if any evidence of the shingles survive). An external concrete chimney is located on one side of the house. It may have been purchased as a prefabricated item, or made on site; such chimneys are common on small 1930s houses in rural areas. The whole structure demonstrates the necessity of self-sufficiency for the Isaac family at the time. Internally the cottage is believed to be substantially intact.
The cottage is located within a mature garden containing many large trees with a dense understorey of shrubs and groundcovers.Isaac's Cottage - Physical Conditions
