House, 3 Kofoed Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 3 Kofoed Street, Stawell, is set on an average-sized allotment for the area and has a modest front setback characterised by opening grassed areas and perimeter garden beds and shrubs. The front is bound by a timber picket fence that is approximately 1000 mm high.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard, Edwardian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with a gable and skillion verandah that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in deep oxide painted galvanised corrugated steel. An early painted brick chimney with a corbelled top adorns the roofline. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It is supported by timber columns that in turn are supported by painted brick piers. There are simple timber brackets and apart from the timber framed, the valance appears to have been removed.
Early features of the design include the banks of three timber framed casement windows with four paned highlights above (including the projecting bay at the front with a shingled hood above and strapping below), four panelled timber door with sidelights and highlights, and the decorative gable infill (timber battening and panelling).
