      The site at 13921450 Barwon Heads Road contains a ruinous house and early substantial exotic pine and native gum trees. The single storey, asymmetrical, horizontal weatherboard, ruinous Edwardian style house is characterised by a recessed dominant hipped roof, together with a gable and remnant bullnosed verandah that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. An early unpainted brick and corbelled chimney adorns the roofline. Narrow overhangs and worked timber brackets are a feature of the eaves. The extant timber framed windows are early, and are double hung. An early decorative feature of the design is the gable infill timber battening. Description
