House - Physical Description 1
148 Hargreaves Road comprises two gable roofed buildings sited perpendicular to each other. It is possible that this house is built from the combination of two houses as there appears to be two front doors. The chimneys at the rear are of an earlier and simpler design, however the chimney at the front is built to a later design with a cornice and use of patterned brickwork.
The timber framed, weatherboard building is surrounded by a convex profile verandah supported on timber posts. The forms of the building indicate that it may have an early date of construction; however the front chimney design does not accord with this.
