      The house at 228 Bulleen Road, Bulleen is a small, symmetrical timber cottage clad in square

      edge weatherboards. It has a corrugated iron roof, gable ends, central doorway with windows

      either side and skillion annexe to the rear. The front windows have been unsympathetically

      replaced with aluminium picture windows and the verandah is recent.The highlight above the front

      door also appears to have had new glass, perspex or plastic installed. There is little garden other

      than a large Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) to the north at the rear of the cottage.

      The cottage is now surrounded by flats and commercial development.
