    House at 98 Summerhill Road - Physical Description 1

    The central chimney, set in the simple high-hipped roof, and the rubble basalt masonry in the side and rear walls show its early date. However a very early date is obviated by the two-colour brickwork in the facade wall and chimney, although this may simply indicate later works to convert the house into a pair. Otherwise the elevation has a Colonial Georgian revival simplicity with its quoined openings arranged symmetrically. Inside there is the expected simple joinery (that which survives) and an impressive basalt lintel over the ground level fireplace.
