Baringo - Physical Description 1
Baringo is an asymmetrical single-storey, Italianate, red brick house with a return cast-iron verandah to the south-east corner. The red brick has been enriched by a contrasting cream brick string course at impost level and cream brick voussoirs and keystones to the windows.
Semi-octagonal bays occur on the south and west elevations, and windows are double-hung sashes. The hipped roof, probably originally slated, is clad with terracotta tiles and has a bracketed eaves. The chimney is rendered with a moulded cap. The ornate cast-iron verandah resembles the founders', Cochrane and Scott's pattern of 1887.
The original front fence has been replaced with a chain wire fence
