House at 74 The Strand - Physical Description 1
As originally constructed, the house at 74 The Strand Newport was a single storey, double-fronted, symmetrical block-fronted Victorian villa with a hipped corrugated galvanised steel roof. It is sited diagonal to the street boundary and is set back from it by a garden. Significant original elements (ground floor only) are:
- Canted bays flanking a central cast iron verandah
- Double-hung sash windows with segmented arched heads
- The elevated siting on a bluestone plinth
- Entrance door with side and highlights
- Deep front garden.
A rather overwhelming second storey in a faux Victorian style is a recent addition.
