      Sunnyview - Physical Description 1

      A triple-fronted Edwardian O'Connor, with face brickwork patterned, decorative timber barges and most unusual timber verandah posts and friezes, all now removed. There is no evidence of any of this now. The right bay and left side rear bays are set forward as gables. Upper gables jetty with timber roughcast. The verandah returns around the angle under the same roof, with turned posts. At front, there is a rectangular bay with triple-sash window. Under the verandah upper lights are leadlight. Gable windows are pairs. The chimneys are reddish brown brick, with a roughcast frieze above and below, corbelled courses. The Edwardian door may be original. At the rear on Barclay Avenue, is an old shed of light red handmade bricks which appear to be larger than the standard height (75-80mm). There is an old Peppercorn tree.
