Moorpanyal - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION:
Moorpanyal is a timber Federation residence with notable details and a high degree of integrity. The asymmetrical facade features prominent gables, one facing the street front, and one at the side of the building. A wide verandah with paired timber posts and curvilinear Art Nouveau ornamental timber brackets wraps around the building. On the corner beneath the Federation style return verandah, a bay window projects diagonally. A similar triple light casement window is beneath the gable and half timber effect is found in the gable infill, as well as ripple iron and render. A ripple iron canopy protects the side gable window, and simple brick render chimneys protrude from the roof and are capped with single terracotta pots. The garden and front hedge add character to the site and enhance its contribution to the streetscape.
