      207 Barkers Road - Physical Description 1

      231 Barkers Road, Kew, is a single storey Federation Queen Anne villa of tuck-pointed red face brick construction on a bluestone plinth. The hipped and gabled slate roof has terracotta ridge cresting, timber finials and a rendered cornice mould and is penetrated by brick chimneys with moulded caps. It also features a facetted slate-clad candle snuffer turret with cast iron finial, and bracketed projecting gables with dentilled bargeboards and half timbered ends in an unusual diamond pattern. The asymmetrical facade features rendered dressings and quoins and a projecting bay with faceted bay window. The return verandah has paired cast iron posts and frieze with corrugated galvanised steel skillion roof and bluestone steps with rendered balustrade and urns. The windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes, some with margin bars and leadlight glazing, and the front door has glazed sidelights and fanlight. There is a later brick skillion-roofed addition at the rear.

      The property has a low non-original clinker brick and wrought iron fence and gates, concrete driveway and garden path.
