HOUSE (LOUGH BRAE) - Physical Description 1
The house at 35 Cassels Road, Brunswick, now known as 'Lough Brae', is a Victorian Italianate house, which is constructed of white tuck pointed red brick with pale cream bricks used to create decorative quoining around the openings and at walls corners, diaper patterns under the windows, and as single or paired bands across the wall. The typical M-profile hipped roof is clad with slates and has paired eaves brackets separated by medallions and elongated panels with a moulded cement stringcourse below (now overpainted). There are two rendered chimneys with moulded cornices and a stringcourse. The separate front verandah has a convex profile and is supported on round timber verandah posts with a Corinthian style capital and cast-iron frieze. The verandah floor has traditional cream and red tiles laid in a diamond pattern with bluestone edging. The symmetrical facade has a central front entrance with an original panelled timber door with sidelights and highlights, which is flanked by timber framed tripartite double-hung sash windows with bluestone sills. The door highlights and sidelights contain what may be original or early leaded glass.

HOUSE (LOUGH BRAE) - Integrity
Viewed from the street, the house is relatively intact with good integrity, with only minor modifications such as the overpainting of the frieze below the eaves. The verandah may have been sympathetically reconstructed and features such as the ogee profile gutters also appear to be sympathetic replacements. The picket fence is sympathetic, but not original.
