Wilandra - Physical Description 1
Wilandra at 130 Tuckers Road, Clyde is a substantial red brick villa of a late Victorian – Italianate design, probably designed between 1885 and 1895. It has been substantially renovated and received extensive sympathetic additions as a result of a major construction campaign from 1986.The roof is a hipped form clad in corrugated galvanised iron (or corrugated zincalum) with two prominent bay windows to the front (north) elevation. A large projecting verandah is constructed across three elevations (east, north and west) with projections coinciding with the bay windows.The house is sited on a rise above Tuckers Road and is concealed from the road by vegetation. The approach to the house is now from the south to the rear of the house, but was originally served by a grand entry culminating in a circular drive at the front (north) elevation of the house. A substantial Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) was planted in the centre of the circular drive and now dominates the vegetation on the property.Like many properties in this district there are large avenues of eucalypts and cypresses planted along boundary and fence lines away from the house.Wilandra - Physical Conditions
