      Wallerview - Physical Description 1

      'Wallerview' is located on approximately 0.68 hectares amidst rolling lawns and established exotic and native plantings. The facade is decorated in timber ashlar with an Edwardian entrance, pendant brackets along the eaves and a new return verandah. The interior of the old section of the house has been 'partially retained with its Baltic pine floorboards, ceilings and walls stripped back' (1). The more recent extensions to the house have been designed to match the older section.
