Condition

Lesmurdie House & Estate is in good condition and has generally been well maintained. Parts of the interior fabric of the residence show signs of water damage, particularly the floor of the former Dining Room and ceiling of the enclosed front verandah. The former orchard store is in fair condition and shows considerable signs of wear. The verandah and roof need maintenance to stabilize their condition. Internally, the original fabric is in fair condition, with the floors and walls showing signs of deterioration caused by age and wear. The grounds of Lesmurdie House & Estate are in good condition and are well maintained. The brick and timber fence that edges the gravel terrace is in fair condition, although a number of fence palings are missing. The gardens, lawns and trees are well maintained. The concrete garden bathing-pool and Lesmurdie Brook are in good condition, although ducks currently inhabit the pool.
