Residence - Physical Description 1
The front facade of the house is built of bluestone ashlar with rendered quoining to the door and windows. The side walls are rendered and the house appears to have been extended. The house is a typical symmetrical design with central door flanked by double hung windows and with a hipped rooof. The concave verandah could not be original however the posts have been replaced and any decoration removed. It is built very close to the street. External alterations have largely been sympathetic although the original chimneys and window joinery have been removed.
