"Flour Mill House" - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The Victorian Vernacular styled cottage is a brick or stone stuccoed single storey dwelling with a hipped roof clad in galvanised corrugated iron. It has a face brick chimney towards the rear of the building. The front elevation has a centrally placed door with double-hung timber windows either side. One side of the verandah has been filled, in the twentieth century, with cement sheet and a louvered window. A decorative frieze and turned timber posts may be original, but require closer inspection to be conclusive.
The house is set back from the front boundary and side boundaries. The appropriate fence is a recently constructed, low simple picket fence with a Federation period gate. A simple paling fence of the same height is adjacent to it.
The style of the house indicates that it may have been built in the 1860s.
