Tilshead House

Tilshead House is a detached house built in the early 19th century. The front is constructed of Flemish bond brick, while the sides and rear are made of English garden wall bond, topped with a concrete tiled roof and brick stacks. The house is three stories high with a symmetrical front featuring three windows. The central door has six reeded panels, a fanlight, and a 20th-century canopy, with a 20-pane sash window on either side. On the first floor, there is a central 16-pane sash flanked by 20-pane sashes, while the second floor has a central 12-pane sash with 15-pane sashes on either side. All windows have flat-arched heads and the roof has deep eaves.

The left side of the house has French windows and a 20-pane sash on the ground floor, two 20-pane sashes on the first floor, and two 15-pane sashes on the second floor. A datestone in the center of the second floor is inscribed "R.P. Norris / Aug 20 / 1820," likely marking the year the house was built. The right side features an 8-pane sash on the first floor. The rear of the house has a roof with twin hipped gables, creating a square plan, and includes a pair of 8-pane sashes on the first floor and a 15-pane sash on the second floor, with a blind window to the left. There is also an early 19th-century single-storey kitchen extension attached, built in English bond brick.

Inside, the house features fireplaces with reeded surrounds and paterae, reeded shutters, and panelled doors in the ground floor rooms. The staircase has stick balusters and shaped spandrels, and the stair hall includes a reeded dado rail.
