Fernrock Kinders

Fernrock Kinders and No.3 and 5 consist of two attached villas built between 1851 and 1860. They are constructed of stone-dressed Flemish bond brown brick, with grey slate roofs.

No.3 is a nearly symmetrical two-storey, three-bay villa with an added garage wing to the left. It features a six-panel door in a rusticated case, above a six-pane overlight. A canted two-storey bay window on the ground floor has lights of 4, 6, and 4 panes, while a six-panel door is set within a stilted round archway with a leaded radial-bar fanlight. A frieze and cornice run along the first floor. A volute is positioned to the left of the sillband. Casements of 3, 6, and 3 panes are set in the bay window. Another casement with two 3-pane lights is above the door. A frieze and cornice top the roof, which has a main ridge parallel to the front, with hips to the bay window. A projecting plinthed chimney is on the left, and another is on the right. The left end features a rusticated corner, sillband, and a round-arched casement behind the chimney. The ground floor of the rear has a six-pane cross-casement in an eared architrave, a replaced door under a wedge lintel, and another six-pane cross-casement under a wedge lintel. The first floor features a sillband and two six-pane cross-casements. The interior includes a vigorously-expressed newel stair, six-pane doors, panelled embrasures, and ceiling cornices.

No.5 is a two-storey, three-bay villa recessed to the left. It features a plinth and a square bay window with four 4-pane transomed lights. Three stone steps lead to a distyle Ionic portico. A replaced panelled door and a one-pane fanlight are set in a round-arched Classical stone case. A balustrade sits between recessed panels over the porch. An eight-pane cross-casement is set in an eared architrave with a cornice on consoles. A first-floor stringcourse and sillband are present. An eight-pane pair of French casements, triple round-arched 3-pane casements over the porch and another pair of six-pane French casements, right, are also present. All openings have stone cases or architraves. There are three stone-dressed, plinthed chimneys. A canted 1-storey bay window with French windows, stone pilasters and an entablature with a balustrade to the balcony above is located at the right end. Four cross-casements are on the first floor, and a conservatory is present. The rear incorporates a canted stone bay window with a four-pane transomed light in each oblique face and an 8-pane cross-casement to front. An eight-pane pair of transomed French casements with 4-pane sidelights are in an eared architrave with an entablature, accompanied by a cross-casement in a similar stone case. The interior showcases a vigorously expressed mid-19th century newel stair, 10-panel doors, panelled embrasures, and ceiling cornices.
