Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION:
The single storey timber building appears to be clad in weatherboards and rough cast. The hipped and gabled roof is clad in corrugated iron. The front entrance is almost in the centre of the front elevation however the eye is drawn away from this by the prominent gable ends projecting from the hipped roof. These are at each end of the elevation and feature arched timber fretwork. The fretwork of the gable ends and verandah brackets is restrained. From the gate the driveway curves to the right and leads to the steps of the spayed gable end. The garden and fence hedge are notable features of this property
