House, 19 Charlton Road, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house is set at a modest setback from the front boundary on a large site with a wide side garden. The street facade is screened by a later introduced high timber fence.
The front section of the house facing and running parallel to the street is a low gable roofed section with a later addition of gambrel roofed wings running behind and at right angles to the gable roof. All the roofs are clad in painted galvanised corrugated steel. The gable section has simple painted brick chimneys with simple bands of corbelled brick as decoration. The gambrel roof addition has more elaborate painted brick chimneys with bands of corbelled bricks, with the top part stepping out to form a more decorative profile.
The gable roofed section has a front skillion verandah extending from the roof at a lower pitch. The walls are of painted brick.
The large addition is of rendered brick and has a modest eaves overhang supported on flat eaves brackets. This section has a deep verandah which pitches below the roof and is supported on rendered pillars which taper from a square base with a corbelled capping. The floor of this verandah is of concrete. The house has timber framed, double hung windows. The gambrel roofed areas are in two sections with the rear section having a lower eaves height to the side section which may indicate that the additions were made a different times.
