Kimbrae - Physical Description 1
Kimbrae is an asymmetrical single-storey Italianate residence with a hipped corrugated iron roof and a small two-storey tower. The building is of rendered brick construction on a bluestone plinth.
Windows are double-hung sashes and the projecting eaves are bracketed. Surmounting the parapet to the tower are four pressed cement orbs. The window hoods and bull-nosed corrugated iron verandah with turned timber posts appear to have been added c1905.
Some mature exotics in the garden have survived including a Phoenix caanariensis, but an inappropriate cream brick and pebble-mix fence has replaced the original.
