Farmhouse, Werribee Vale Road - Physical Description 1
An early cottage with a gable roof across, rendered with roughcast on brick. It is four bays, with the door in the second bay, and a skillion timber verandah continuous with the roof, on timber posts with decorative fretwork timber brackets. There are two chimneys on the ridge-line. The asymmetrical front would appear to indicate that one bay has been sympathetically added to the gable to enlarge the house, to the right. There is a large hip-roofed brick and timber outbuilding behind which also appears to be old. Opposite, over Werribee Vale Road are two Dethridge wheels.
