Merrimee - Physical Description 1
An Edwardian period Villa, asymmetrical in plan and elevation t and constructed in red brick with rendered dressings under a slate roof with terracotta capping. Many of the features relate closely to the Queen Anne style or earlier decorative forms t particularly: the oculi; window and door details; colonnaded verandah under the main roof and plain red brick. This example departs from the Queen Anne in its shallower roof pitch, simple detailing, and less complex roof. The verandah returns around the corner to face the substantial garden, and is terminated by a projection bay at the opposite end.
The whole is placed low to the ground, bringing it into close relationship with the garden. A sweeping drive and mature trees with early hedge complete the landscape.
The heritage place does not include the moderndwellings at 2-10/492 Barkers Road Hawthorn.
