House, 32 Clifton Avenue, STAWELL - Physical Conditions
The house at 32 Clifton Avenue, Stawell, is set on an average sized allotment and has a typical front setback. The front is characterised by mature shrubbery and there is an open grassed area beyond.
The single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard and strapped roughcast, transitional Federation and interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by complex roof forms comprising a central hipped form together with gable roofs that project at the front and side, a corner tower with a pyramidal roof and a return broken back verandah. These roof forms are clad in early lapped and red painted galvanised corrugated iron. An early face brick chimney with a rendered top and terra cotta pots adorns the roofline. Modest overhangs are features of the eaves.
An early feature of the design is the return verandah punctuated at the corner by the tower. The verandah is supported by early, paired turned timber columns. These columns are supported by early roughcast piers. Early timber fretwork valances provide decoration, while capped roughcast balustrades form the perimeter to the verandah. The building corner at the under has also been chamfered and features early timber framed double hung windows with highlights. The other timber framed double hung windows are also early, as is the timber framed doorway.
Other early features of the design include the portal window under the verandah, roof ridge decoration and the turned timber finial surmounting the tower.
