House and Ruins - Physical Description 1
The house at 1737 Lyell Road Redesdale is part of a farm complex that comprises a stone house and the ruins of a stone and brick building and a number of contemporary farm sheds. The house is built of the bluestone laid in a coursed and snecked pattern. There are two slender brick chimneys. The hipped roof is clad in corrugated iron. A verandah appears to have been added to the house at a later date and this is built with timber posts and vertical timber infill to the ends. There are substantial stone ruins adjacent to the house. The modern hosue is not of interest, nor are the corrugated sheds.
