The house at 6 Luke Street, Stawell, is set on an average-sized allotment for the area. This house has a modest front setback of approximately 4-5 metres, and narrow side setbacks with a driveway along the side. The front garden is overgrown, and has some distinctive exotic shrubs.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Edwardian styled house is characterised by a recessed steeply pitched roof form, together with a minor gable and hipped verandah (following the pitch of the main roof) that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised iron painted in deep red. Two early unpainted brick chimneys with rendered bands and dentillated courses adorn the roofline. Modest overhangs are features of the eaves.
Other early features include the timber framed double hung windows (including the tripartite windows under the verandah and front gable), and the timber framed doorway with sidelight and highlight. The timber verandah columns and cast iron brackets may have been introduced. Another feature is the window hood on the projecting gable.
