MOIRADALE - Physical Description 1
Moiradale is a particularly good example of the craftsman bungalow style adapted for a country setting. This large house is derived from a large square plan that provides for the huge hipped roof to meet almost at a single point. This house has a short ridge and a small gablet facing the front. The verandah is continuous with the main roof and returns on three sides of the house. The symmetry of the composition is interrupted by a gable roof wing built to one side, although this may be a later addition. The verandah posts are timber and have sinuous timber brackets as the sole decoration to the verandah. The window and door joinery is elaborate with large windows of five panes to the front elevation. Some use is made of leaded and coloured glass to the front rooms of the house. The walls are constructed of an unusual combination of dark stained or painted weatherboards below the window sills and rough cast render above. It is possible that the roughcast is 'conite' over a timber frame, although it has the appearance of solid masonry. The tall chimneys are elegantly tapered and have a band of face brick at the top as their sole decoration. The house is set in a garden of several mature trees and shrubs including a palm tree.
