    WATTLE BANK - Physical Description 1

    This large timber farm house shows a staged construction, with the centre transverse broad-gabled section flanked by differently sized gabled wings, the whole having a 1920-30s character. The corrugated iron roof is made more obvious by the siting of the house low on the hillside. Mature exotic trees and garden remnants are close to the house. These include an elm, a large Monterey cypress, a Monterey Pine, and camellias.
    
    The roofing iron is rusting and will need replacement soon, and the supports of the gabled porch at the west end of the house are collapsing. The weatherboard cladding is in need of painting. Other than that, the house appears to be solid, though the north elevation could not be inspected. (Context Pty Ltd 2007)
