House, 'St. Bernard's', 16 Clifton Avenue, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
'St. Bernard's', 16 Clifton Avenue appears to be set on an average-sized allotment for the area, and has a considerable front setback characterised by an open grassed area with perimeter garden beds and trees. The front is bound by an introduced visually permeable steel fence that is approximately 1200 mm high. There is a side driveway and vehicular gates.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard, interwar Californian Bungalow styled house is characterised by a broad gable roof form, together with the minor gables that project at the front and side, skillion front verandah and a side skillion porch. These roof forms are predominantly clad in lapped galvanised corrugated steel painted in deep green. Three early face brick and rendered chimneys adorn the roofline. Broad overhangs with exposed timber rafters are features of the eaves.
Early features of the design are the skillion verandahs. They are supported by paired timber columns (with decorative geometric fretwork between), which in turn are supported by face brick and rendered piers with concrete cappings. The verandahs also feature timber arches.
Other early features of the design include the timber framed double hung windows (arranged singularly or in banks), timber framed doorway with sidelight, and the decorative gable infill (timber shingling and timber ventilator).Heritage Study and Grading
