Statement of Significance
Wallingford is distinctive for its elaborate ornamentation including diaper patterned polychrome brickwork and ceramic tiled frieze. The fine craftsmanship of the house is the result of its owner builder John Timmins, and contributes to the character of the local streetscape.

Wallingford - Physical Description 1
Wallingford is sited amongst a number of similar face brick houses which are generally of a later vintage. The polychromatic brick house is single fronted with a recessed entrance under a return cast iron bull nose profiled verandah. The verandah floor is of ceramic encaustic tiling, and the three front steps have vermiculated rendered side walls. Further decoration occurs at the sill brackets and the intact render work to the verandah and party walls, including a mask, fluting, vermiculation and panelled foliation. The tall bi-chrome brick chimneys have heavy moulded rendered cappings. The street elevation has diaper patterned brickwork and a glazed ceramic tiled frieze between moulded brick eaves brackets. The hipped slate roof is patterned. Alterations include the replacement of the front fence.
