Particular architectural elements of the Bungalow style in this precinct include double-gable ended roofs with some shingled gable ends, red brick, rendered, rough cast or weatherboard walls and simple brick chimneys on the outside walls. Almost all the houses are single storey with a double frontage which includes a porch.

The Clarendon Street Precinct comprises parts of Clarendon, Phillips, Shaftsbury and Selbourne Streets. With the exception of the St Fidelis Church complex, the tower of which is a prominent local landmark, the Precinct is residential.
Apart from a few Edwardian timber residences in Shaftsbury and Phillips Streets, the housing in the Precinct comprises single-storey inter-War bungalows. Timber houses tend to predominate in Clarendon Streets, whilst Phillips, Selbourne and Shaftsbury Streets contain a mixture of brick and timber structures.
With the exception of the kerbs and gutters in Clarendon Street, which are bluestone, the footpaths, kerbs and gutters throughout the Precinct are concrete. Bluestone lanes have been retained in the Precinct.
Street planting in the Precinct is a mixture of natives and exotics. The natives include Melaleuca in Clarendon Street and Eucalyptus and Acacia in Selbourne Street. The canopy of mature trees in Phillips Street is add greatly to its character.
