Description
Mount Sandford is a house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, which was refashioned and extended in the early 19th century. It features painted stucco with rusticated quoins and slate roofs with lead flashings. The building has a complex plan with two long parallel ranges and central valleys to roofs of varying heights. An early 19th-century facade was added across the double gables at the west end, along with a shorter parallel range at the rear.
The house is two storeys high and has a Regency facade with two bays, a shaped parapet, and a moulded cornice. It includes two two-storey canted bay windows and a two-storey timber verandah with a balcony supported by slender timber posts featuring shaped brackets and a decorative wrought iron balustrade. The lead-covered balcony roof rises under the main roof cornice. The canted bays have 2 over 2-paned sashes with margin glazing bars and 4-pane sidelights. The north side has a low parapet above a moulded cornice and a six-window range with scattered fenestration of 2-, 9-, and 16-paned sashes.
A projecting porch features a parapet, moulded cornice, and a round-arched doorway with impost bands on the side walls. The entrance has a wide four-panelled door with an overlight and a half-glazed inner door with two panels and four panes above, also with margin glazing bars. Inside, the room to the left of the entrance hall has dado panelling on all four walls with integral cupboards and boxed-in beams in the same style. The principal rooms of the early 19th-century addition have plaster cornices, and while the roof structure appears to be from the early 19th century, the entire roof space is not accessible.
