House, 14 Kings Avenue, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house at 14 Kings Avenue, St. Arnaud, forms part of a streetscape of significant, single storey, predominantly pitched roofed Victorian styled and interwar Bungalow styled houses.
The house has a large front setback and is bound by a recent timber post and rail and large wire mesh fence, approximately 1200 mm high. The front yard is largely grassed with some recently plantings and mature trees and shrubs.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a jerkin head gable that traverses the site, together with a projecting skillion verandah and flat roofed bay window that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. An early unpainted brick chimney adorns the roofline. Wide overhangs are a feature of the eaves.
Like the form of the house, the timber framed double hung boxed windows and the bay windows - with their four paned upper sashes - are early and typical of the State Savings Bank designed houses of the 1920s and 1930s. An early decorative feature of the design is the shingling about the lower reaches of the window bay.
The front verandah is supported by recent square timber posts, with a recent trellis balustrade. The brick steps may also be recent.
