      Carrington - Physical Description 1

      This imposing two storey boom style Italianate villa is of a relatively conventional design other than the pyramidal roof over the entry porch and upstairs bathroom. The building has a hipped slate roof, imposing stuccoed chimneys with elaborate mouldings and flue fins, bracketed eaves, cornices at eaves level as well as first floor level and moulded arched window hood moulds. The building has a two storey return cast iron verandah on the south-west side and the north-west corner is dominated by a wide projecting angled bay. In 1992, the building retained an early picket fence in which the principal spade headed pickets formed a top lapped picket, over a simpler and lower picket behind. The corner post had a distinctive Edwardian character. The basalt gateway and iron gates were built in the 1980s and a massive cypress hedge concealed much of the fence and house. The house is substantially intact other than the modern gate, gateway, and corrugated iron fence with repetitive cast iron cappings. The hedge has been removed.
