    WINDRUSH - Physical Description 1

    The house is built of stone and cedar on a large site of 12 hectares, on top of an isolated hill with extensive views in all directions. It is built on a U shped plan which encloses a grassed court to the south with covered walkways leading to the main entrance. There are gabled roofs clad in grey tiles with very wide eaves protecting from north and west sun. On the north side there is a broad skillion roofed bay with a clerestorey window and a stone chimeny to its south face. The north elevation opens onto a broad grassed terrace with a swimming pool and stone paving. The site also includes a machine room and 3-car garage. It covers 365 square metres, with a further 130 metres in ancillary spaces.

    A much larger house than any other in this group, such as the Reid houses : 74 Macedon Road (1966), Mclachlan Street (1966, 70); but these are generally earlier and on smaller, less spacious sites. No. 2 St. Georges Avenue (1973, Dennis Carter) is also comparable. It is the only Jackson/Walker building in the municipality. The landscaping is comparable to the work of Ellis Stones, a teacher of Ford and Glass, at Winter Park, High Street (1971-75). Also comparable to other Darryl Jackson and Kevin Borland houses of the period.
