The Grove

The Grove is a house, now functioning as a student hostel, built around 1830. It features a stucco exterior that is rusticated at the ground floor and has a hipped slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range, with French windows on the ground floor and 20th-century casements on the first floor. A tented verandah spans the front, supported by cast iron trellis. The central entrance has a stone porch with a bowed centre, which is supported by four fluted columns and features an entablature. The deep eaves add to the architectural detail. On the left-hand side, there are two large two-storey canted stucco bay windows, each topped with slate roofs and French windows that include segment-headed fanlights with Gothic glazing bars. The right-hand side is simpler, featuring one smaller canted two-storey bay window.
