Description

A late Georgian 3-bay house of 2 storeys with attic, of scribed stucco S front, renewed slate roof on moulded eaves board, with early C20 end brick stacks. The central entrance is within a hipped veranda with fish-scale tile roof carried on wooden posts, and integral with the canted bay windows to the outer bays, which have 2-light small-pane windows. The doorway is in a moulded surround and has a panelled reveal to a half-lit panelled door. The upper storey has segmental-headed windows which are tripartite small-pane hornless sashes in the outer bays and 16-pane sash to the centre. The L gable end has an external stack R of centre but reduced below the eaves and modified to present apex stack. To the L of the stack is a pair of 12-pane horned sash windows. An inserted window is upper L while the attic has a small window replaced in an earlier opening on the L side.

The rear faces a small walled yard. A central segmental-headed horned sash stair is centrally placed, to the L of which is the lower rear wing. This has 2 hornless sash windows in the upper-storey of its gable end. Its E side wall has a single window replaced in an earlier segmental-headed opening, and a small-pane sash window to its L. In the R (E) gable end of the main range is an added late C19 canted bay window with 4-pane sash, above which is a small-pane hornless sash window.

The house is planned around a central stair hall with principal rooms R and L divided by thick partition walls, which have panelled reveals to the doorways and panelled doors. The windows also retain panelled shutters. The hall has a disc and corbelled plaster frieze. The dog-leg stair has balusters concealed behind boards. The attic stair has a plain balusters and newels.
