Residence - Physical Description 1
A single storey timber house clad in weatherboards, and roughcast . The roof is composed of large gables and clad In corrugated Iron. The design is influenced by Edwardian elements such as the plan form, return verandah with timber fretwork, the bow window on the main corner. However certain aspects are generally associated with the Bungalow style which became popular about 1920. These elements include the prominence of the central gable and the lack of a dominant hipped roof, the window fenestration and the fine leadlighting. The gable ends are treated with roughcast and paired slender lines accent the verticality of the large gables. An interesting feature is the use of stone or cement render ashlar below sill height of the bow and bay windows/
