Description
The house at 154 Corio Street, Geelong, is set on a narrow allotment, which is typical for the local area. The house has a modest front setback which is equivalent to the front setback of the neighbouring house. This house extends across the full width of the site to the side boundaries. The front has a garden that consists of flowers and shrubs that extends onto the front nature strip. The front is bound by a timber picket fence, approximately 1200 mm high.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a rear gable and skillion, and a concave verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated steel. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves.
The symmetrical composition of the design is accentuated by the early central timber framed doorway with early four panelled door, and the flanking early timber framed double hung windows. The other timber framed double hung windows also appear to be early.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It is supported by recent square timber columns with decorative cast iron valances.
