Description

This is a mid-19th century house, originally built of stuccoed stone with rusticated quoins. It has a slate hipped roof featuring a crested ridge tile, shaped eaves brackets, a moulded string-course below the eaves, and rendered stacks with moulded cornices. The house has a double-depth plan with two principal rooms facing east, separated by an entrance passage that leads to a staircase and a kitchen. An original axial passage previously extended from the kitchen to the principal front left-hand room and the central doorway on the south elevation. A single-storey wing now occupies the rear right-hand (northwest) corner, which likely housed a dairy.

The east front is almost symmetrical, with three bays and slightly offset windows. It features 19th-century four-pane sashes. The right-of-centre doorway has a 19th-century glazed and panelled door, with stained glass panes in the upper lights, and an early 20th-century glazed porch. The south front presents a symmetrical three-bay facade with three 19th-century 16-pane sashes on the first floor and four-pane sashes on the ground floor. A central doorway is topped by a stuccoed pediment on elaborate consoles, above glazed double doors and a rectangular overlight. The west (rear) elevation has irregular window placement, including two 19th-century 12-pane sashes on the first floor over a porch, with the wall protruding forward to accommodate the kitchen chimney stack. The north elevation features a central round-headed stair window with stained glass margin panes, accompanied by 20th-century windows below on the ground floor, and a single-storey flat-roofed extension to the right. Internally, the principal front rooms lack cornices and original chimney pieces. The hall retains a moulded plaster cornice and console brackets to an arch leading to the original 19th-century staircase, which features moulded balusters, moulded newels, and a mahogany handrail. Much of the original internal joinery remains, including panelled doors. The kitchen originally had a large fireplace with a bracketed mantel shelf and a slate floor.
