1 Beaconsfield Road - Physical Description 1
A substantially intact, single storey row house adapted to an open garden setting. Notable original features include portions of render still exhibiting early or original lime wash in ochre, and unpainted brickwork. The design is unusual. The left hand portion is a standard brick row home, with a parapet and central decorative feature on a bracketed string course as the main embellishment. To this standard row house composition has been added a projecting bay on the right hand portion of the facade. This is unusual because the balustraded parapet has been extended to accommodate this. Usually, when a bay projects the roof is hipped to the receding portion. This arrangement is more like an, all encompassing parapet to a mansion house with recessed verandah. Here however the extent of the parapet is limited to the front facade.
The walls are hawthorn brick with cream trims in diamond pattern.
A large cypress of considerable age is located adjoining this bay.
