House, 38-40 Seaby Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 38-40 Seaby Street, Stawell, makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey residential area at Seaby Street. This house is set on a large and well-landscaped allotment, having mature exotic trees and shrubs, garden beds and grassed areas. The front is bound by a timber post and rail, and woven wire fence, approximately 120 mm high.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, interwar Californian Bungalow styled house is characterised by a gable roof form that traverses the site, together with two gables that project towards the street frontage. These broad roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated steel. An early brick chimney adorns the roofline, while wide overhangs are features of the eaves.
The boxed timber framed double hung windows are early, as is the brick entrance porch and timber framed doorway.
