House - Physical Description 1
74 Maggs Lane is built of timber and consists of a house built possibly in the late 1850s. An extension to the house is evident at the rear where a bungalow style porch has been added to a rear wing of the house. Of particular note is the roof form of the front part which is of a high pitch, often an indication of a former timber shingle roof underneath. The simple design of the substantial brick chimneys indicate an early date of construction for this house. The verandah has been rebuilt and a number of other alterations have taken place to this house. there are a number of outbuildings on the property, however these are not of interest. The setting of the house from the road is picturesque with the driveway having to cross a creek and there are a large number of gums in the foreground.
