House. Early C19 remodelling of an early C18 building with a late C19 wing to the right. Stucco with a steeply-pitched hipped thatched roof to the garden front with rendered stacks to the sides, double-pitched slate roofs to the rear block with a stack to the rear right. Probably originally 2-unit plan, with an early C19 front range forming a double-depth plan with the single-storey late C19 right wing; rear lean-to. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attic. The entrance in the left return, facing the street, has an early C19 reeded doorcase with blocks to the upper corners and a small modillion cornice, raised moulding to the panels of the reveals and a painted-over overlight with a pointed-arched pane to the centre and radial glazing bars; this is enclosed by a late C19 glazed porch with a fretted bargeboard to the gable. The 1st floor of the 3-window garden front has moulded architraves to pointed-arched French windows with Y tracery to the overlights and delicate cast-iron trellised balcony guards. Central dormer has a 2-light casement window with a false painted similar overlight. Late C19 canted bays to the ground floor support a wooden trellised verandah. INTERIOR: the entrance hall to the left return has a narrow open-well open-string staircase, has a painted wreathed handrail and curtail step and a semicircular-arched recess to the left. 6-panel doors to the ground floor, 4-panel doors to the 1st floor, planked doors to the attic. The kitchen to the rear right has a former open fireplace to the angle of the corner, and the wall between the rear and front ranges is over 0.6m, probably a former exterior wall. A good example of early C19 cottage ornee.
