House, 24 North Western Road, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house at 24 North Western Road, St. Arnaud, is set on a lengthy, sloping and elevated allotment. The house has a large front setback of at least 6 metres, with and a grass and concrete driveway to one side leading to a garage at the rear. The front is characterised by an open grassed area, some minimal perimeter planting and some mature and young exotic trees. The front is also bound by an early rendered brick fence with face brick plinth and capping, terminating at the driveway with a pier, curved wall and pier. These piers have stepped face brick cappings and the fence is approximately 1200 mm high.
The single storey, asymmetrical, stuccoed brick, interwar Californian Bungalow is characterised by a gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a verandah gable that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Two stuccoed brick chimneys with projecting bands and cappings adorn the roofline. One chimney also has an early terra cotta pot. Wide overhangs and exposed timber rafters are features of the eaves.
The early timber framed double hung windows are arranged in banks of two and three at the front, and have decorative leadlighted highlights. The timber framed doorway, timber and glazed door and leadlighted side and highlights are also early.
An early feature of the design is the front verandah. It is supported by early stuccoed brick square columns with concrete cappings, which in turn are supported by stuccoed brick piers with concrete cappings. The verandah and stair balustrade is of similar construction, with the steps to the verandah constructed in concrete.
Other early features of the design include the large timber gable brackets and the gable shingling.
