house

Hipped slate roof with pitched (gabled) slate roof to windbreak, clay ridge tiles, rendered red brick Running bond chimney stack having chamfered stringcourse below capping supporting yellow terracotta tapered pots, rendered coping to gable to windbreak, slightly sproketed eaves, and no rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Rendered, ruled and lined battered walls over semi-coursed random rubble stone construction possibly incorporating sections of mud wall construction with roughcast surface finish to rear (north) elevation. Square-headed window openings with sills, and timber casement windows. Square-headed door opening in round- or segmental-headed recess with step threshold between padstones, and glazed timber panelled door. Set perpendicular to street [OS].

A house of modest size identified as an integral component of the vernacular legacy of Screen by such attributes as the alignment perpendicular to the street, the compact rectilinear lobby entry plan form centred on a characteristic windbreak, the construction in unrefined local materials demonstrating a pronounced battered silhouette, the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor, and the high pitched roof profile.
