Stawell and Princess - Physical Description 1
The building at 33-35 Princess Street, Kew, comprises a pair of terraces of Victorian Italianate style with overpainted rendered brick facades and brick construction elsewhere. Parapets conceal a pair of hipped slate-clad roofs which are penetrated by rendered brick chimneys with moulded caps to the main house; no. 35 retains a face red brick chimney to the service wing. The decorative parapet features intact pressed cement detail including the name of each property, stawell and princess, within a central pediment and urns, swags, and scrolls. Wing walls terminate double-height verandahs and balconies embellished with cast iron columns, lacework frieze and balustrading and tessellated floors. Each single-fronted facade contains a panelled timber entrance door with fan and sidelights with etched coloured glass flanked by paired timber-framed double hung sash windows with bluestone sills. A pair of French windows provide access to the first floor balconies, with conventional windows elsewhere.
Alterations to 33 Princess Street include extensive rear additions carried out in 1997[i], rendering and overpainting of side walls, overpainting of chimney render, construction of a brick front fence and sections of side fence and renewal of landscaping. Alterations to 35 Princess Street are more minor in nature and include double-glazing to first floor windows, installation of timber window shutters and a brick front fence.
