Milk Bar (former) - Physical Description 1
The single storey building has an L-shaped plan, with the residence setback within a densely planted garden, and the former shop projecting to the Colby Drive footpath. The house has a transverse gable roof clad with corrugated iron which is intersected by the shop's gable end roof form.
The gable end forms part of the shopfront, with simple timber bargeboards and fibrous cement sheet cladding. A louvred vent is located below a carved timber finial at the apex of the gable. The shopfront has been altered and currently encompasses two shops, with a shared, recessed entrance alcove and flanking angled glass panels. Modern rectangular plate glass windows are crowned by rectangular highlight windows, and the facade has been clad with stained, vertical timber boards. A cantilevered verandah extends from the building line to the fence line of the property.
The residence is clad with fibre cement sheet and original features include the recessed side entry to the east and its associated small gauge corrugated iron overhang. The timberwork of the side entrance to the east and the residence's verandah is simply detailed, with no ornamentation to the verandah edging and no balustrade. The windows are timber framed, double hung windows.
A small, gable roof timber outbuilding is located at the rear of the property.Milk Bar (former) - Physical Conditions
