House, 34 Church Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 34 Church Street, Stawell, is set on a corner allotment and is bound by a timber post and woven wire fence that is approximately 1200 mm high. The house has a typically modest front setback and is characterised by open grassed areas and perimeter garden beds. There is an introduced garage at the side.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard, interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a central verandah gable that projects towards the street frontage. Two flanking skillion verandahs that also project towards the front have been introduced. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated steel. An early red brick chimney with a soldier course capping adorns the roofline. Wide overhangs with exposed timber rafters are features of the eaves.
The front verandah gable and skillions are supported by introduced timber columns, and the projecting gable has timber detailing and an elongated timber fretwork valance. Beyond the verandah is an early central door opening with flanking early timber framed double hung windows arranged in banks of three.
The finials at the apexes of the gable ends appear to have been introduced.Heritage Study and Grading
