59, Wellington Road B15

This is an substantial stucco villa, built around 1820-1830, with elegant Grecian details. The main front is three bays wide and symmetrical, with a matching fourth bay to the north. Between 1840 and 1850, the ground floor was extended outwards, incorporating quadrant screen walls with swept copings that curve towards the roadside, linking with a coach house to the north. The first floor is articulated by incised, originally giant order, pilasters which support an entablature and parapet. The entrance bay is slightly advanced and incorporates an attic storey flanked by large acanthus volutes and surmounted by a pediment. Architrave-framed sash windows are present on the first floor and one in the attic. The extended ground floor features single and paired, narrow windows with architraves, keystones, and segmental arches. A projecting porch with a semi-circular fanlight above a double six-panel door is also present.

The linked coach house has a screen front to the road, with two segmental arched coach doors, incised voussoirs, a blind panelled attic, a cornice, and a parapet above the left half. Behind this is a coach house and stable range.

The east garden front, set on a terrace, is also of three symmetrical bays, with a fourth bay to the north. It features channelled ground floor and a plat band above. Quoin pilasters flank the first floor, with the central bay incorporating a giant order and a pedimented attic with volutes, similar to the entrance front. Architrave-framed windows are found on the first floor, with a tripartite window in the centre. Stucco canted bays with balustraded parapets flank the central bow on the ground floor. The fourth bay has channelled detailing on both floors; an oriel bay window with a tent roof is on the first floor, and a sash window below.

Inside, the villa retains simple Regency moulded doorcases and a fine staircase. This staircase rises behind an arched screen to the hall in a tight elliptical well on the north side of the house, featuring an open string, cast iron superimposed column banisters with raked and scrolled links, a moulded handrail scrolled to the foot, and a secondary flight of stairs through an arch in the north end of the well, at the curve of the main stair.
