Description
19 Blacket Place is a classical villa built in the mid to later 19th century. It is a single-storey, symmetrical, three-bay structure with a square plan and a basement. The exterior features polished sandstone ashlar, with stugged rubble on the sides and rear. Notable architectural details include a base course, eaves course, cornice, blocking course, and architraved windows with aprons.
The west entrance elevation has decorative cast-iron balusters and a handrail leading up to the doorway, which is framed by a pilastered doorpiece. The entrance features a six-panel timber door topped with a plate glass fanlight, flanked by single windows in the adjacent bays. The villa has four-pane timber sash and case windows and a grey slate piended roof. There is a coped wallhead stack to the north and a corniced wallhead stack with corniced cans to the south.
The interior was not seen in 1996. The property is enclosed by painted coped boundary walls along the street, with piers on either side, and there are coped mutual rubble boundary walls shared with No 17 and No 21.
