    PAYNE HOUSE, BARN & TREES - Physical Description 1

    This large timber Edwardian-era verandahed house in the Federation Bungalow style has a two level gabled barn at the rear. Walls of both house and barn are clad with weatherboard and the roofs with corrugated iron (barn iron is the unusual `Emu' brand from Wolverhampton which was distributed locally from c1908 onwards).
    
    The house has two gabled bays, with trussing and finials, either side of an unusual central hipped room bay. The skillion verandah extends over all of these bays.
    
    Drive planting
    The long driveway to the house is lined with an avenue of distinctive trees. These include a pair of the native trees Bunya Bunya (Araucaria bidwillii), a pair of hoop pine, also native (Araucaria cunninghamii), and a lemon scented gum (Eucalyptus citriodora). The majority of trees in the avenue are Pinus radiata, a number of which are senescent or approaching senescence.
