HOUSE AND OUTBUILDINGS - Physical Description 1
This group of buildings comprises a bluestone house and two outbuildings located in close proximity to each other and to the road. Built of bluestone, this group of three buildings is unusual in layout and design but may be compared with several other farm complexes in the study area that have a similar formal layout. Although this place is of note for the fact that the three buildings appear to have all been designed together and sited in a formal way in relation to each other. It is possible that an architect or skilled stonemason/designer may have been involved in the design of this group of buildings. Particular attention has been paid to the stone walls which are laid in coursed, squared rubble. The woolshed is small in comparison with others in the locality, and has been altered with an addition in red brick to one end, that appears to replace a demolished section of stone wall. The stable has similar high level of craftsmanship in the stone walls and the design of the tall narrow windows with rough cut sills. There is a stone ramp or steps leading from one of the openings above the floor level. This is a relatively unusual feature but other examples exist at Carisbrook and west of Geelong in the Barrabool Hills. There are matching chimneys at each end of the stables. The gable ends are detailed with parapets with smooth cut stone cappings.
The house is of a symmetrical hipped roof design with a relatively high hipped roof. The windows are standard sashes and the front verandah is convex and has timber post with brackets. It is possible that a frieze is missing from the verandah. There is a small weatherboard section of the house with a chimney and this area is in poor condition. Some small extensions have been made to the woolshed and stables, in particular a large machinery or hay shed has been constructed adjacent to the demolished end of the woolshed.HOUSE AND OUTBUILDINGS - Physical Conditions
