G.V. II

House. Built 1823 for Travis. Coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and stone roof. Square in plan with central entrance and staircase, former ballroom to right and two rooms to left. The house takes the form and style of an Italianate villa. The 2-storey 3-bay front elevation has a central entrance with Doric porch which is a latter addition. Two tier end pilasters with engraved hyroglyphics, sash windows and sill band to first floor and heavy projecting bracketed stone eaves. Low pitched hipped roof crowned by central decorative chimney stack with pilasters, circular headed glazed lights, bracketed eaves and numerous crown pots. The flues follow a tortuous route from the outer walls to make their way to the central stack. The grand staircase has a heavy handrail, bulbous balusters and a closed string, all carved out of one piece of stone in length of about six steps. The rear parlour has Adam style plasterwork.
