Polychrome Brick Homestead - Physical Description 1
A single storey polychrome brick Victorian house with a hipped slate roof and corbelled brick chimneys. The roof has narrow bracketed eaves and a band of green fishscale slates. The original front elevation faces away from the street and contains tuck-pointed brickwork with a central front door with sidelights and a fanlight. On either side of the door is a pair of timber framed double-hung sash windows.
The original rural context homestead has been entirely lost as it is now incorporated into a shopping complex which directly abuts a side elevation. Verandahs to both the front and rear are recent reconstructions and air-conditioning units have been inserted in most windows.Heritage Study and Grading
