Statement of Significance

Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009

Carnbrea is a detached double-fronted weatherboard Italianate villa with a hipped roof in corrugated galvanised steel cladding. The facade is asymmetrically composed with a projecting bay to the north. The remainder of the facade has a verandah extending across it with timber posts and a concave profile roof; this is not original. Weatherboards on the facade replicate rustication but unusually without the vertical lines. Fenestration is timber framed in a tripartite arrangement. The two chimneys are brick and have been over painted. At their tops are Classically-inspired rendered mouldings. A pair of air ventilators is fitted to the roof.
