Description

This is an early to mid-20th century house built in the style of an English 17th-century classical building, accompanied by single-storey pavilions and attached offices. The exterior is finished with harl (rough cast) plaster, accented by contrasting red brick detailing. Continuous horizontal bands of brick define the base, the sill of the first floor, the lintel above the eaves, and a decorative cornice runs along the eaves. Openings are either segmental-arched or round-headed, featuring keystones and timber transoms and mullions.

The principal, or southwest, elevation features five windows on each floor, the ground floor windows being taller and incorporating four-light transoms. A swept and piended roof covers the central projecting bays, pierced by three original dormer windows which are similarly tile-hung. Flanking the central bays are set-back pavilions. The left pavilion has a keystoned, round-headed, double-leaf door with a sunburst-astragalled fanlight above, and a similarly detailed window to the right.

The northeast elevation is asymmetrical, with a ground floor door positioned to the left of centre, flanked by windows to the outer left and right. A tall, round-headed stair window is located to the right of centre, complemented by smaller, narrow windows beside it. Two windows are visible on the first floor to the left. A pavilion to the outer right has a broad, segmental-headed arched entrance leading to a door on its return to the left, alongside offices that adjoin to the outer left.

The northwest elevation showcases a projecting pavilion with three keystoned, round-headed windows, and a four-light transomed window recessed to the outer right. A French window on the first floor is flanked by a window to the outer right, and a prominent brick chimney breast with a panelled wallhead stack, rising above the cornice, projects to the centre.

The southeast elevation has a window on each floor in the outer left bay, with a ground floor pavilion embracing a further projecting office range. A brick stack, similar to that on the northwest elevation, sits centrally.

The windows throughout the house are multi-pane, leaded casements with a square-pane radial pattern to the arch heads. The stair window and flanking lights have decoratively-astragalled coloured glass. The roof is covered in red tiles with deeply overhanging eaves. Large wallhead brick stacks are present, featuring panelling, keystoned round-arch detailing, corbelled copes, and decorative cans.

The interior of the house was not inspected in 1999.

The offices are a single-storey building with a rectangular plan and a piend roof, adjoining the main house to the southeast. The southwest elevation has two four-light transomed windows in a slightly recessed bay to the right of the pavilion. The southeast elevation is asymmetrical and features a variety of elements, including a slightly advanced piended bay on the right. The offices have multi-pane, top-opening windows on the southwest side, and eight-pane timber sash and case windows on the southeast side.

The boundary is marked by flat-coped, harl and brick boundary walls supported by square-section brick piers and decorative ironwork gates.
