Built 1836 and located at 29 Lyton Street, Blacktown.

A convict-built single storey cottage constructed from sandstone bricks and built in 1836. The cottage was originally part of the Royal Navy's Captain Robert Lethbridge's 700 acre Flushcombe Estate.

Consists of a single storey masonry dwelling with a galvanised iron hipped roof and separately roofed verandah.

In 2003 the cottage housed a medical specialist. As of 2007 it is again vacant and appears to have been that way since at least mid 2006.

One of the oldest surviving structures in the Blacktown region.
