HOUSE - Physical Description 1
A pretensious bi-chromatic brick villa with bull nosed verandah to the facade and side elevation having cast iron columns and a pedimented break-fronted section in the centre with lacework to the frieze and tympanum. The west end wall is in the form of a parapeted party wall with vermiculated ends to the copings. There is a hipped corrugated colorbond roof and symmetrical chimney stacks.
The brickwork is closely comparable with the existing villa at no. 34, the treatment of the window spandrels being plain.
