Statement of Significance
The interwar Bungalow style of the house at 10 Charlton Road suggests that it was constructed in the early 20th century (c.1920s-1930s). The largely intact Bungalow (from the exterior) may have been built by the Education Department, as it served as the residence of a number of the headmasters of the nearby St Arnaud State School No. 1646 for many years.
The house at 10 Charlton Road is architecturally and historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the early 20th century and with the headmasters of the St Arnaud State School No. 1646, and it demonstrates original design qualities of an interwar Bungalow style. These qualities include the single storey height, and the dominant gambrel roof form with minor gables that project at the front and side. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the horizontal weatherboard cladding and stuccoed brick wall construction, the lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, the wide eaves with exposed timber rafters, the three stucco chimneys with soldier course cappings, the timber framed, double hung and casement windows arranged in bays, horizontal banks, in pairs and singularly, the timber framed front doorway with timber and glazed door and sidelight, and the decorative features (timber verandah brackets, columns and capped timber balustrade, timber joinery simulating shingling in the gables and the gable ventilator). The mature and substantial trimmed hedge at the front and partly at the side, together with the scrolled metal gate, also contribute to the significance of the place.
Overall, the house at 10 Charlton Road is of LOCAL significance.

House, 10 Charlton Road, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The site at 10 Coonooer Road is situated a short distance north of the St. Arnaud State School No. 1646. The corner site is bound at the front (and partly to one side) by an early and substantial trimmed hedge. Early scrolled metal gates are another feature of the front. The front yard has concrete paving and driveway, and a central garden bed bound by a concrete block retaining wall. Perimeter garden beds are another feature of the yard.
The single storey, horizontal weatherboard and stuccoed brick, largely intact interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a dominant gambrel roof form with minor gables that project at the front and side. These roof forms are recently painted and are clad in early lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Wide overhangs and exposed timber rafters are features of the eaves. Two early, elongated, stucco chimneys with soldier course cappings adorn the roofline, as does a squat chimney of identical construction. The early window openings are timber framed and arranged in projecting double hung bays, in a horizontal bank of three casements, and in double hung pairs and singularly as double hung or narrow casements. The timber framed front doorway - together with the timber and glazed door and sidelight are also early.
Early or appropriate decorative features of the design include the timber verandah brackets, columns and capped timber balustrade, timber joinery simulating shingling in the gables and the gable ventilators.
