    Extract from the 2009 study

    64 Learmonth Street is a single-storey stucco rendered cottage with parapetted gable end walls and a slate roof with a painted brick chimney. It is probable that this front section of the house was added in brick during 1866. The original stone section of the building with a truncated hip roofed still exists to the rear.[i]

    A deep verandah supported on steel posts with cast-iron lace work brackets and frieze runs across the front elevation, enclosed by flanking walls to each end. The verandah appears not to be original and may have replaced an earlier timber-posted structure.

    The central front entrance door with a glazed fan light above is flanked by multi-pane double-hung sash windows with deep sills. A low blockwork wall with a metal gate along the front boundary has replaced the original timber picket fence and gate.[ii]
