This homestead, built about 1880 has French windows and displays symmetry and typical colonial elements. The brick walls, which have been painted have string courses of brick work cement rendered to a height of 3 ft. The corrugated iron roof covers shingles over pitsawn rafters. A detached kitchen block at the rear is typical of the era. Together with its garden of mature trees it is recommended to be classified. An outstanding example of a gentleman's residence. Built and occupied (until his death in 1898) by William Brockman, a son of the founder of Cheriton. The best example of a Colonial Gentleman's Residence of the 1880's remaining in the district.
