House. c1830. Probably by Charles Dyer. Extended 1878 by JH
Hirst. Limestone ashlar, ridge stacks, roof not visible.
Double-depth plan. Neoclassical style. 2 storeys and basement;
7-window range.
Originally a symmetrical 5-window house, extended to the left
with a porch in the re-entrant. Banded basement to a plat
band, the earlier block has recessed end sections with inset
Greek Doric columns flanking ground-floor windows; the
3-window centre has end panels with incised Greek Key, fluted
pilasters to the windows between, to an entablature with a
string of metopes, and cornice. The band extends along the
recessed left-hand block, as does the cornice and parapet.
The large open porch has banded, recessed quadrant corners,
Greek Doric columns between incised corners, to a cornice and
parapet; the doorway has curved reveals, plate-glass overlight
and 2-leaf 6-panel doors. Taller central ground-floor windows,
those above with eared architraves and Greek Key panels above,
outer first-floor windows have semicircular-arched heads and
palmette panels above, all with aprons. Right-hand
ground-floor window has a tented verandah with cast-iron
railings; the entrance was formerly in the matching bay to the
left.
INTERIOR: a 1878 lobby with steps up, marble panels to the
sides, and brown glazed panels of playing children.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached banded wall extends to the left
to 2 pairs of banded, capped piers with incised decoration,
separated by a carriage gateway with large timber gates. A
flagged road leads to the former stables (not included).
Strong stylistic links with houses by Charles Dyer on Litfield
Place.
