This farmhouse is located close to the crossroads of the Addo and Uitenhage junction and dates from about 1920. It is in reasonable condition, with a corrugated red painted iron roof, plastered walls and some original windows and frames. The
sloping addition to the kitchen section with outside flue and tall chimney is intact. The front of the house has three Ionic columns holding up the verandah. The front door and stoep window appear to be original, as is the diamond shaped window at the end of the verandah. The steel window to the right of the front door has been altered and made larger. The outer brick plastered wall with distinctive columns is probably of a similar period to the house. Although not a remarkable home in the architectural sense, it is typical of its era and if it can be re-cycled whilst maintaining its integrity it would be a worthwhile effort. The tree behind the house is probably more than 60 years old and should be protected if possible.
