House, Stables and Garden - Physical Description 1
A freestanding, single storey single fronted brick Victorian terrace house, with side garden and former stables to the rear. Painted facade with evidence of dichromatic, tuck pointed brickwork in Flemish bond underneath, and also features iron fence and gate abutting the footpath set in bluestone footings, tri-partite Venetian window and cast-iron lacework, with eaves brackets and decorative moulding and console brackets on projecting party walls. Hipped roof in corrugated metal (also painted) with central brick chimney. On the rear boundary of the property, a double storey brick former stables building in garden wall bond abuts the laneway, with a second storey doorway with evidence of block and tackle under a gabled dormer, suggesting a possible commercial use. A more recent brick building (in stretcher bond) adjoins the former stables and spans the remainder of the laneway
The house is located in a residential area, with native street plantings.
The building is in fair condition, with a number of conservation issues, including: evidence of buckling iron sheeting on verandah roof; some cracking and mortar damage in the facade masonry, bowing in the party wall and evidence of falling damp, with an area of mortar damage from disconnected roof plumbing on the rear gutter of the building on the rear laneway.House, Stables and Garden - Integrity
- Capping on party wall
- Half-glazed two panel door - likely to be from a later period
- Lean-to / skillion addition to rear of east side of building, enclosing former rear verandah (evident on 1904 MMBW survey)
- Removal of building on north eastern corner of block (evident on 1904 MMBW survey)
- Building in south eastern corner of block (not evident on 1904 MMBW survey)
- Solar panels on former stables
- Modified fenestration on former stables
- Painted brick facade*
Overall, the integrity of the stables and dwelling is high. This is further supported by the intactness of the overall site layout which has barely changed since the 19th century (excluding the later building addition) with the retention of the house and stables.
* Denotes element that detracts from the cultural significance of the place.
