Former Church of England Manse, 30-32 Seaby Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The site at 30-32 Seaby Street is visually connected to other significant, single storey, predominantly Victorian styled houses in the streetscape of Seaby Street. It is also visually connected to the Grampians ranges to the south-west.
This house is situated on a large allotment, with substantial front and side setbacks. The yard is identified by introduced paving, perimeter gardens, shrubs and trees. The site is bound at the front by a timber picket fence, approximately 1200 mm high.
The single storey, rendered brick, Victorian styled house is characterised by a gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a return broken back and skillion verandah that project to the front sides. These roof forms are clad in unpainted and lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Two rendered brick chimneys with projecting cornices adorn the roofline. Modest overhangs are a feature of the eaves.
The longitudinal facade is identified by the central doorway, with flanking timber and glazed French doors. The verandah is supported by timber columns on pedestals, and has decorative brackets.
An early decorative feature of the design is the masonry quoinwork at the building corners.
