Description
Snowfield is a two-storey brick house with a painted finish, a tiled roof, and brick axial stacks. It was originally built in a symmetrical three-bay layout around a recessed central bay, which has since been extended to the right by an additional gabled bay. The windows are low, pointed-headed, and moulded, featuring hood moulding and stops, with heavy decorated style tracery. The entrance was originally located in the central bay, consisting of an arcade of triple arches and Gothic timber doors. The first floor was initially recessed like the rear but has been brought forward and tile hung, forming a smaller gable with the original window reset. The rear elevation retains its original form, with the triple arcade featuring a moulded string and a small gable in front of the pent roof. The bargeboards may have been replaced.
Inside, there is a Gothic glazed screen in the front and rear lobbies, leading to an internal door to the hall, although the front has been altered. The open well stair around the hall features stick balusters arched at the head and a curved soffit for each tread. The doorcases and doors follow a Gothic pattern, with small coloured lights in the doorhead. The main reception rooms on the southeast side have elaborate wide coving with intersecting vaulting ribs leading to a central octagonal flat. The two service rooms on the northwest side have four cross beams supported by corbels. The first-floor rooms feature pointed vaults, with small vaulted lobbies off a landing on three sides of the stairwell, which also has small square vaults in each corner. There are two original Gothic stone moulded fireplaces on the first floor, and the floors are made of oak. A landing window, originally set forward in a pointed gable within the entrance recess, was later reset in a tile-hung front for a new room constructed in the recess over the entrance porch. The house was further extended on the service side in the 1950s in a matching style.
