CORNWALL HOUSE - Physical Description 1
This is a single-storey Italianate weatherboard house with a block-fronted symmetrical facade and skillion roofed verandah. The hipped roof is clad in corrugated iron and has paired eaves brackets and rendered chimneys with moulded cornices. The house appears to remain largely intact although the roof has been reclad. The rear wing appears to be a later addition. There is a modern rendered front fence with a nameplate which reads: 'CORNWALL HOUSE 1894'.
The semi-formal garden, which is well-maintained, features a circular drive enclosing a central garden bed divided by a path to the front door. The layout may be original. There is a large Golden cypress adjacent to the front gate and a Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) which appears to be a remnant early planting. There are also a number of other semi-mature deciduous trees, none of which are related to the early development of the place, but provide an appropriate setting.
