Description
This prominent single-storey asymmetrical double-fronted stone villa with projecting front bay displays high quality in its fine detailing and use of materials in the late-Victorian style.
The building features a high quality tooled and coursed bluestone façade with face brick quoins, dressings and chimneys. The gabled hipped roof and ogee profile verandah are clad in corrugated steel, and the verandah has simple timber posts and restrained cast-iron lace decoration. It is enclosed at one end with a simple timber balustrade.
The projecting bay is decorated with moulded brick detailing in triangular shape, mirroring the gable above, and a brick gable vent and is topped with a turned timber finial. Paired, narrow timber-framed windows to the bay are double-hung sashes and have timber shutters. Other windows at the side and front are timber-framed double-hung sashes, those on the northern side having projecting timber and corrugated iron awning canopies.
