Statement of Significance
52 Studley Park Road is of local historical and architectural significance. It is a fine and highly intact example of a substantial interwar corner bungalow residence. Architecturally, it is an unusual building, incorporating a distinctive combination of materials and ornamentation, including the cartouches, white painted stucco gabling, and use of red brick relieving dressing and wall bases. The front porch has three wide arched openings, and decorative brick balustrading. Above the piers of the balustrade are squat columns with simple detailing. Bow windows to the street elevation have five double hung sashes and distinctive lead lighting in geometric designs.7

52 Studley Park Road - Physical Description 1
52 Studley Park Road, Kew, is a single storey double-fronted interwar bungalow of tuck-pointed red face brick construction, with a broad gabled Marseilles tiled roof. The roof is penetrated by slender rendered brick chimneys with brick capping and vertical straps, and the rendered gable ends feature brick and pressed cement cartouche. The facade contains bow windows clad with timber shingles and features a broad projecting bay containing a deep verandah with scalloped brick dwarf wall, squat masonry piers and three arched openings with sawtooth brick dressings. The windows are timber-framed double-hung sash windows with leadlight glazing and the pair of timber entrance doors are similarly glazed. To the rear of the house is an intact latticework shadehouse.
The property has an intact matching red face brick fence with strapwork gates to the driveway and corner and a timber-framed ripple iron gate to the side. The rear fences are timber paling. The front garden paths also appear to be contemporary with the house.
