Description
Park View, Dairy House, and the adjoining dairy are a pair of houses and a dairy built in 1870 for the Berners estate. The buildings are constructed of red brick with white brick and ashlar dressings, featuring mock timber-framing in the houses. They have plain tile roofs, with bands of fishscale tiles on the dairy, and exhibit a domestic revival style.
The houses are two storeys high, with a two-bay centre range and projecting cross wings. The entrances to the cross wings are positioned at an angle to the front, featuring square bays with casement windows beneath pent porches. Hipped half dormers are located above, and the cross wings have square bays with four-light mullion windows. The mock timber-framing and mullion windows are present above, and there are bargeboards on the gables. Small-paned casement windows are found throughout, along with tall polygonal stacks. The current entrances are at the rear, with a porch on the left cottage that includes a datestone. To the right, there is a timber loggia under a tiled roof that connects to the dairy.
The dairy is a single storey with a gabled cross range and a stack to the left, along with a polygonal-ended range to the right. It features a half-glazed door with linenfold panelling under a timber porch at the front gable. A rustic timber veranda is situated on a knapped flint base at the polygonal range, which has mullion windows, including those in the polygonal room that have shouldered lights. The dairy has a crested roof.
The interior retains its original decorative scheme, including tiled floors, dados, and other details, as well as original doors. The polygonal room features tiled walls, painted decoration, and a central octagonal marble table.
