House and front fence - Physical Description 1
The house is an asymmetrical villa with a bay window to the projecting gable which has a disconcertingly steep pitch to the slate roof. This has decorative iron finials and ridge cresting. The walls are of red brick with cream dressings including a deep frieze below the eave with Greek crosses in cream brick brackets; cream dressings are also used as quoins all corners and openings and the piers on the bay window.
The verandah is of an early style with a pleasing low concave profile with this banded dent illation at the eaves line. It has unusual timber brackets and clustered timber columns.' The entrance has side lights and transoms in leadlight glass. The interior is apparently largely intact. The most pleasing feature of this house is the elegant continuous iron palisade fence or deep bluestone retaining wall and plinth. It curves gracefully to a recessed gateway here, unfortunately, the original gate has been replaced.
