Allawah - Physical Description 1
Allawah is a single storey, timber house located on the hilly slopes to the north of the Upwey's commercial centre. It is situated on a steeply sloping site within a landscaped setting, with a number of mature native and imported trees and shrubs. A simple picket fence lines the street boundary of the property.
The rectangular plan house, which dates from the early twentieth century, has a shallow sloped, transverse gable roof which is lined with corrugated iron. The roof continues beyond the building line to the west to incorporate a verandah which extends the length of the house. At the centre of the sloped verandah roof is a small gable roofed element which is supported by simple timber posts to mark a secondary entrance to the house.
The verandah facade has a number of irregularly spaced windows, which includes double casements with fixed square highlights overhead. These windows are framed by tapered timber surrounds seen typically in houses of this period.
A small flat roofed porch has been added to the south-east facade and the windows modernised to include rectangular, aluminium framed sliding windows. A second addition which continues the form and style of the older house extends from the north-west facade . The building line is set back to the west and includes a verandah.
A recently constructed rectangular plan timber garage is located north-west of the house.Allawah - Physical Conditions
