Description
Attached three-bay two-storey vernacular house, built c. 1780, now in disuse. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with rendered chimneystack. Render over sandstone walls. Square-headed openings having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and painted stone sills. Square-headed opening with timber battened door. Two-bay single-storey corrugated-iron and rubble stone built outbuilding to south with pitched corrugated-iron roof and square-headed opening with fixed timber window.
Appraisal
A fine example of vernacular, urban domestic architecture, examples of which are becoming increasingly threatened by urban development. It retains its original form and structure and includes notable features such as the sash windows. The corrugated-iron outbuilding is an interesting early twentieth century addition, which adds context to the site.
