Tarneit - Physical Description 1
'Tarneit' is a Melbourne Queen Anne styled weatherboarded house designed as a picturesque composition of roof gables, set against a Dutch hip; all clad in Marseilles pattern tiles. A verandah, with slatted frieze and moongate entrance arch, has also a projecting roof gable to its corner bay, it extends between two projecting gabled room bays. These and the roof gables are done in half timbering; the roof gables which sit over wooded window bays, being supported on carved timber brackets whilst the verandah gable rests on slatted brackets. A capped, reproduction slatted fence which matches the verandah, is at the frontage.
The dwelling appears to be generally original externally, although it is presumed that some of the present window glazing has replaced leadlighting.
