Description
Fern Bank is a small house built around 1850, constructed from stone rubble with tooled stone quoins. It is two stories high and features three windows, with French casements on the ground floor. The outer windows have pierced bargeboard gables, and there is a later muted bay window on the first floor to the right. The entrance has a four-panel door and a glazed roof verandah. The gable end has a slate roof with overhanging eaves, and there are terracotta chimney pots with a diamond pattern. Fern Bank is included for its group interest, as it forms a group with The Cottage and Myrtle Cottage.
