Description
No. 63 Wellington Road is a substantial two-storey red brick villa built between 1840 and 1850, featuring stucco dressings and Italianate details. The villa has a symmetrical three-bay front and includes a three-storey projecting tower wing on the south side, which is attached to a screen wall that provides an entrance from the roadside to the coach house and yard. The building has a plinth and a bed mould at the eaves that continues onto the tower wing as a second-floor sill course. It is topped with hipped slate roofs that have deep flat eaves, and the main block is complemented by tall brick chimney stacks.
On the left side of the ground floor, a brick and stucco parapetted bay window was added around 1870, but the rest of the window arrangements remain unchanged. The first-floor windows are framed with architrave surrounds and feature enriched scrolled aprons below the sills. The right-hand ground floor window has a distinctive design with swept feet to the architrave rising from the plinth, a bolection frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course that supports the apron of the window above, which contains glazing bar sashes and very narrow side lights.
The central doorway is framed by an architrave surround with enriched consoles that support a pediment. The reveals, soffit, and door are panelled. The tower wing has a former doorway and a new window, both featuring stucco-capped brick pilasters and a semi-circular rubbed brick arch. The first and second-floor windows have linked volutes at the feet of the architrave, with a pulvinated frieze and cornice above the first-floor window that acts as a plinth for the architrave of the second-floor window. There is a setback extension to the wing at the rear.
The screen wall facing the road includes yard gates leading to the stable coach house, which is constructed of red brick and topped with a hipped slate roof. The garden front features two-storey canted bay windows adorned with stucco dressings.
