House, 7 Grant Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 7 Grant Street, Stawell, appears to be set on a considerable allotment and has a modest front setback. The house has an open grassed garden setting with perimeter flower beds and a concrete pedestrian path.
The single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard, Edwardian styled house is characterised by a recessed hipped roof form, together with minor gable roof forms that project at the front and side, with a return bullnosed verandah between. These roof forms are clad in dark green painted galvanised corrugated steel. Two early rendered brick chimneys with multi-corbelled tops adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs with paired timber brackets are features of the eaves.
A feature of the design is the return verandah. It is supported by turned timber columns and is decorated with timber fretwork valances and brackets which may have been introduced but are appropriate for the design of the house.
Early features of the design include the timber framed double hung windows, panelled timber door with sidelights and highlight, window hoods supported by timber brackets (the tiled cladding has been introduced) and the decorative timber detailing and finials in the gable ends.
