    SHADY OAKS - Physical Description 1

    The house is set well in from the road, with surrounding hawthorn hedges and some old trees including an oak. It is a simple Colonial Georgian style cottage with a hipped roof (with rear skillion). It is of rendered (mud) brick-nogged construction, with mud bricks placed between wall studs (visible above the render where a verandah wall plate may have been, some studs badly eaten) and a textured render over the top. Some skirtings may remain of an early date along with a simple timber arch with carved brackets in the hall. There is reputedly no sign of shingles on the roof (under the corrugated iron).
    
    

    Physical Conditions

    SHADY OAKS - Physical Conditions

    The verandah is new, larger double-hung sash windows have been installed in the front and, inside, the architraves have been replaced.
    
    The brick chimneys appear to have been replaced/rebuilt with standard sized bricks resembling the Jefferson type seen in many other local 19th century structures, set with relatively cement-rich mortar.
