Description
No. 6 Thorny Hills is a house built around 1823, likely designed by Francis and George Webster for Nathaniel Bateman, who sold it to Francis Webster in 1852. The building features tooled ashlar stonework on the plinth, with bands at the first-floor sill and second-floor lintel. It has a moulded cast-iron gutter supported by dentils and a graduated slate roof with stone chimneys at each end. The house is symmetrical, standing three storeys tall with an underground garage and three bays. A central garage door is accessed via a ramp. The ground floor has a sash window set in a recessed surround, flanked by a door and a semicircular fanlight in an architrave, with the left side being part-glazed and the right side panelled. Each upper floor contains three sash windows, all featuring glazing bars.
