Kardinia - Physical Description 1
A two storey red brick house, very vertical in its design orientation and
compact in its plan form, giving it a somewhat dolls house like appearance.
The principal elevation comprises two gable ended wall planes, projecting only
slightly beyond a narrow central zone. The door recesses further beyond
framed by an arched entrance porch. The side elevation; incorporates a gable
roofed projecting bay and matching render dressings to the principal
elevation, giving the impression that it once addressed a substantial side
garden (now lost). The roof is clad with slate and raking eaves project
around the whole house, supported where appropriate by embellished brackets
aligning with the window architraves and timber brackets on the bay window.
Above the windows on the bay projection and within the shallow bays of the
principal elevation, the first floor windows incorporate an unusual arched
extension to the render architrave, and diagonally oriented brick infill with
a central square feature.
