Condition

Stirk Cottage is in good condition relative to its age and has generally been well maintained. The corrugated iron roof has provided valuable protection for the sheoak and jarrah roof shingles underneath, and provided further protection for the interior. Repairs have been carried out to the rotting timbers at ground level in the walls, and termite damaged roof timbers and shingles have been replaced (1983-84). Borer damage to the original timber framing, evident on the western corners of the building, appears to have been halted. Considerable excavation has also been carried out at the front of the building to prevent surface water running under the cottage. This appears to be the reason for the construction of the raised brick entry platform. The downpipes are leaking and are in need of repair to prevent water damage to the building fabric. Similarly, the leadlight window on the south elevation is broken and boarded over, and should be repaired.
