What is recorded here

Detached five-bay two-storey over basement country house, built in 1791. Pedimented and shouldered doorcase with Venetian window with side lights above. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Hipped roof with red brick chimneystacks. Steps up to entrance door. Gable-fronted farm buildings treated as wings. Enclosed yard to rear with lofted stables.
Fort Etna was originally the seat of the Peacocke family. It is significant architecturally with the combination of the pedimented doorcase and the Venetian window above. The house is also very similar to the much simpler designed former Fort Elizabeth.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
