House, 31 Silvermines Road, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house at 31 Silvermines Road is set on a large residential allotment with substantial side setbacks and a front setback of approximately 5 metres. The front is characterised by an open grassed area with perimeter shrubs and a concrete path. The front is bound by an introduced hollow steel and cyclone wire (approximately 1200 mm high) and a galvanised deck fence to one side (approximately 200 mm high).
The single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Late Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a bullnosed return verandah that projects to the front and side. At the rear a later addition also appears to project to the side. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron (overpainted in dark red paint). An early unpainted brick chimney with a multi-corbelled top (and introduced steel straps) adorns the roofline. Another early chimney is extant although altered, while a recent air conditioning unit also appears above the roofline. Narrow overhangs, worked timber brackets and roundel motifs are features of the eaves. The central timber framed doorway has early sidelights and transom. Flanking the doorway are early timber framed double hung windows. Another early decorative feature of the design is the cast iron verandah valances and brackets supported by introduced or altered but appropriate stop chamfered square timber columns.
