Description

34 Primrose Bank Road is a two-storey, six-bay U-plan house built around 1905 by architect A Hunter Crawford. It features a simple design influenced by early Scottish classical architecture, constructed from squared and snecked bull-faced sandstone with cream ashlar dressings. The house has chamfered window openings, an eaves cornice, a swept roof, and slightly overhanging eaves.

On the principal (south) elevation, the outer bays have piend roofs and are regularly fenestrated. In the centre of the right bay, there is a carved stone roundel depicting a yacht with a spinnaker. The left centre bay has two narrow windows at ground level and a larger window above. The entrance is located in the right centre bay and is offset to the right. It features a timber panelled door set in a depressed-arched chamfered surround, flanked by Doric pilasters, prominent voussoirs, and a dentilled cornice on consoles above. To the left of the entrance is a narrow window, with a wider window to the left and another narrow window to the right on the first floor.

The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with greenish-grey graded slates, and there are stone-coped stacks on the ridge with decorative circular cans.

The property is enclosed by a low stone-coped snecked rubble boundary wall, which features decoratively panelled ashlar gatepiers with corniced caps.
