The single storey residence with a high pitched hipped roof that features two small gablets with fine horizontal detailing, symmetrical on the front.

History
Lots 27 and 28 were originally Avon locations X and Y-(100 acres). DuBois Agett arrived in the Colony in 1830, a member of the London Stock exchange, however his farming and business interests failed and he became a clerk in the Customs Dept, and explored the Avon Valley with RH Bland in 1834. In December 1840 DuBois Agett, a gentleman, acquired this property. The adjacent Lot 28 was on-sold in 1884, and it is likely that this lot was on-sold and the residence constructed about that time.
