Painted rendered walls with rendered dressings in form of timber-frame detailing. Square-headed window openings (including to box oriel window on panelled apron having consoles) with rendered sills. 1/1 timber sash windows with fixed-pane timber window to oriel window, and 6/6 horizontal (ground floor) and vertical (first floor) sash windows to return. Square-headed window openings remodelled, c.1950, to ground floor with fixed-pane timber display windows, and rendered fascia over to right. Square-headed door opening with replacement glazed timber door, c.1975, and overlight. Road fronted on a corner site with concrete brick cobbled footpath to front.
Appraisal
A picturesque, modest-scale building that is distinguished in the streetscape through the use of distinctive architectural features including a gabled oriel window, decorative bargeboards, and applied rendered dressings in the form of timber framing. Well maintained, the house incorporates important salient features and materials, including horizontal sash windows, which are an increasingly-rare attribute characteristic of Lismore.
