House, 19 Clifton Avenue, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 19 Clifton Avenue, Stawell, appears to be set on an average sized allotment. It has a modest front setback with a recent garden including perimeter garden beds, open grassed area, some shrubbery, concrete path and a timber picket fence (approximately 1000 mm high) on the front boundary.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a hipped bullnosed verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in red-painted galvanised corrugated steel. An early brick chimney with a corbelled top adorns the roofline. Narrow overhangs with paired timber paired and panelled between are features of the front eaves.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It is supported by turned timber columns and has decorative cast iron brackets and valances.
The symmetry of the design is accentuated by the early central front doorway and flanking windows. The timber framed doorway with a four panelled timber door, sidelights and highlight, and the flanking timber framed double hung tripartite windows, appear to be early.
