Description
This is a 2-storey, 3-bay L-plan house built around 1875, featuring a 2-storey wing to the north and a single-storey wing to the south. The principal elevation and wings are made of cream sandstone polished ashlar, while the sides and rear are constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked sandstone. Notable architectural details include a base course, channelled quoins, an eaves course, and a bracketed cornice.
On the north range's east elevation, there is a curvilinear gable with strip quoins that have a buckle motif at the first floor level and a scroll design at the eaves. The elevation features block skewputts and a near full-height, 3-light central canted window, with a cornice that has a round arch above the central windows. The mullions are adorned with floral carvings, and the ground floor windows are slightly arched, while the central first-floor window is set within a segmental-arched panel.
The south elevation has a single window at the first floor above a balcony. The west range's east elevation is 2-bay with a recessed, tripartite doorway that includes a panelled door and a segmental-arched, plate glass fanlight. It has a square-plan porch at the re-entrant angle that is open to the east and south, forming a balcony above. This area features stylised Corinthian columns, a deep cornice, and a carved, pierced parapet. A round-arched glass-panelled door leads to the balcony above, and there is a bipartite window on the ground floor outer left set in a segmental-arched panel with floral carving, along with a single segmental-arched window on the first floor above.
The south elevation of the west range is 3-bay, with single windows on both floors at the centre and on the first floor outer left, and segmental-arched single windows on both floors outer right. There is a central round-arched window at the wallhead stack. The 2-storey wing adjoining the house to the north features a curvilinear gable with a single central window at ground level and a single segmental-arched window on the first floor above. The single-storey wing adjoining the house to the south has a single central segmental-arched window, along with a cornice and pierced parapet.
The windows are made of plate glass, timber, and are of the sash and case type. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piended design, with a corniced and coped wallhead stack to the south.
