    CARDINIA PARK, FORMER GIN GIN BEAN - Physical Description 1

    This house is near or at the site of an old pastoral complex, set on the Cardinia Creek, and well in from the road. The present house was reputedly built in three stages and this matches the physical evidence. The brick front is thought to date from the 1870s, the weatherboard section at the rear from the turn of the century, and the kitchen from the First World War period.
    
    The front section is a typical conservative stuccoed Italianate styled and verandahed villa with a corrugated iron clad hipped roof and Edwardian-era bullnose profile verandah (later). The front threshold is set well above the verandah floor level indicating that it once opened onto a timber verandah which has since been removed. The house has the typical four main rooms either side of a central passage as reflected by the symmetrically arranged double-hung windows facing the front and the cemented ornamental chimneys.
    
    The rear verandah supported on turned timber posts typical of the Edwardian-era and is faced by an altered weatherboard section of the house. There is a huge dome-topped well to one side of the house in the garden which presumably served the kitchen. A reconstructed pleasure garden is at the front of the house with some mature plantings. There is no indication of mature trees which might have lined the long driveway into the house.
    
    Well removed from the house are corrugated iron clad out-buildings which appear of more recent construction.
