House (Closer Settlement) - Physical Description 2
This is a timber cottage with double hip metal roof and a low brick chimney set in the valley between. The symmetrical facade has a front door with toplight flanked by timber sash windows and is clad in Ashlar boards that have an unusual pattern with implied quoining at the corners and long boards between. The bullnose verandah is supported by turned timber posts and has a roughcast balustrade that may have been added in the 1920s. Above the verandah are paired eaves brackets. Overall, the house has good intactness and integrity. The verandah frieze is not original. The low timber picket fence is sympathetic.
