558 Waverley Road, Malvern East - Physical Description 1
The house at 558 Waverley Road is a single-storey bichrome brick residence. It occupies a deep allotment on the south side of Waverley Road, mid-block between Hyslop Parade and Sydare Avenue in Malvern East. Views to the house are obscured by a high timber front fence and a mature front garden.
The building has an M-profile hipped roof, clad in corrugated iron, which may be a later change (i.e., from slate) with two wide chimneys, one with a shaft of red face brick and the other finished in unpainted cement render. The chimneys are typical of the era with heavy moulded cornices of unpainted cement render. The walls have modest brown Hawthorn brick dressings, with zigzag quoins to the building corners and around the openings to the front facade only. Walls are of red face brick.
The building has a central front door with sidelights and highlights (replaced) which is surrounded by paired segmentally arched double-hung sash windows. The verandah is raised on a brick plinth supporting a new concrete slab. A shallow concave verandah, indicated by the remnant flashing, has been removed from the front facade. Other alterations to the original building fabric are the replacement of all windows in-kind (timber double-hung sashes), rendering of the window sills, rebuilding of the verandah slab, and replacement of the front door and timber surround.
There is also a single-storey rear extension, a new single-storey garage/studio along the western boundary, a high exterior pavilion area, all of which are quite recessive when viewed from the street.
