Description
Number 29A is a villa and attached lodge, set back from the street within a walled enclosure, built between 1841 and 1843 by Thomas Stead. The villa features yellow stock brick with rusticated stucco quoins, a stucco modillion cornice, and a blocking course. It has two storeys and four windows, including a recessed side entrance bay and a four-window return, most of which are blind. The entrance has an architraved doorway with a bracketed canopy and a lantern above. The windows are architraved sashes with original glazing bars. Along the west frontage, there are four decorated lead rainwater cisterns dated 1715, 1745, 1764, and 1771.
The lodge is also made of yellow stock brick and has a symmetrical single-storey north wing with three windows and a projecting pedimented central bay. The central doorway features a half-glazed door and a bracketed canopy, with gauged brick flat arches above the recessed sashes and a parapet.
The interiors have not been inspected. The subsidiary features include cast-iron courtyard railings with bud finials and an ornamental lamp standard with a twisted stem and ladder bars. A Windsor lantern is attached to the south wing. The screen wall and attached railings, which are adjacent to the street, are made of yellow stock brick with stone coping and have doorways at the north and south ends, with the south doorway blocked. The attached railings feature urn finials and gates.
