House, now flats. Early C19 and 1875. Painted stucco, slate
roof with stacks to gable ends of original block, ridge and
right of later block. Early C19 double-depth block; with the
late C19 block to the right it forms a T-plan with a stair
turret to the rear. Classical style with some Picturesque
Gothic details.
EXTERIOR: 2-storeys; 3-window range to the early C19 block, 3
windows to the west and south fronts of the late C19 block.
The earlier house has original cast-iron balconettes to the
1st floor and a verandah on cast-iron supports; the late C19
remodelling added castellated stacks, elaborately-leaded
French windows and a cornice articulated by gabled pilasters
rising through a high parapet; to the right the panelled
parapet continues round a large projecting canted bay with a
hipped roof to the late C19 block which has French windows
with heavy pointed-arched glazing bars and coloured glass
spandrels to the overlights. A small octagonal belvedere with
a machicolated and castellated parapet and C20 windows is
corbelled out at the angle of the projection.
The entrance to the rear of the right return has a moulded
Tudor arch with sunk spandrels and label-mould over a door
with vertical panels and overlight. Small cinquefoil-headed
windows to the sides also have labelmoulds. 3 trefoil-headed
2-light mullioned and transomed windows to the 1st floor, that
over the door is a French window with a cast-iron balconette.
The shafts of 3 small castellated stacks are corbelled out to

with label-moulds to single-light windows.
