Description
The Walled Garden at Lintalee is a classical villa built around 1815, with later additions by architects J M Dick Peddie and George Washington Browne in 1903. The building features two storeys and a half-sunken basement, arranged in a nearly symmetrical rectangular plan with five bays. It is constructed of pale cream ashlar stone, accented by long and short quoins, a band course above the basement, and raised architraves and cills.
On the southeast (front) elevation, the central and outer bays are bowed. There is a single central window on both the basement and first floor, and a pair of windows on the principal floor. The entrance bay, located to the right of the centre, has ashlar steps and railings leading to the basement area, with a Tuscan pilastered and corniced doorpiece featuring a panelled door and a border-glazed, lying-pane fanlight above. The bay to the left of centre has windows only on the basement and first floor. The elevation is finished with a cornice and blocking course.
The northeast elevation includes a window on each floor at the centre, with an additional basement window to the right and a massive central wallhead stack. The northwest (rear) elevation displays irregular fenestration on the centre and left, while the right side is blank. There is a basement door and stair window on the centre left, and a garage door has been added to the centre right. A door and window serve a service flat on the right.
The southwest elevation consists of three bays, with a recessed left bay and a centre bay featuring windows on each floor, while the right bay is blank. There is a wallhead stack on the inner right.
The villa has 12-pane timber and sash and case windows, a piend and platform roof covered with grey slates, and coped, rendered stacks.
Inside, the villa has undergone significant alterations due to the addition of a drawing room wing and the removal of the original staircase, resulting in a large L-plan staircase and hall. The principal rooms of the original villa have been refitted with panelling and woodwork in a simple Edwardian Baroque style.
The walled garden, located to the south of the house, is polygonal in shape (approximately 50 meters by 30 meters at its maximum) and is situated on land that slopes to the south. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar coping.
