Description
Bronte Villa is a house built around 1840, constructed of stucco with a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and features a three-by-two bay layout. The ground floor is rusticated, and there is a sill course at the first floor. The building has a top frieze and deep boxed eaves supported by brackets, with rusticated quoins at the first floor. The windows are framed with architraves; those on the ground floor have stucco flat arches and casements, while the first-floor windows are sashed with glazing bars and feature triple keystones.
The central enclosed porch includes a frieze, a modillioned cornice, and a pierced parapet. The round-headed entrance is flanked by niches, all adorned with archivolts, and the return has similar windows. The left return faces the road, with the second bay projecting under a pediment and featuring a tripartite window with segmental heads. There is also a modillioned cornice and a pierced balcony above the first-floor window. The first bay lacks rustication, and the first and second-floor windows are set in round-headed recesses with archivolts and triple keystones, with a recessed panel between them. The window above has an eared architrave. Bronte Villa is noted as the most intact villa in Fairfield Crescent.
