Stuart House (former) - Physical Description 1
Sited at an angle to the street, the house at 48 Narrak Road is a large attic-storeyed rendered brick bungalow with a prominent gabled roof clad in Marseilles-pattern terracotta tiles, with terracotta finials and a partially rendered chimney. The elevation to Narrak Road is double-fronted and asymmetrical, with a large projecting bay to the left side that incorporates a double-gabled dormer window at the attic level. A stepped verandah, with a gentler hipped roof supported on rendered piers with shaped brackets and face brick plinths, extends across the entire elevation, extending further to the south-west to create a porte-cochere to the garage beyond. Canted bay windows open onto the verandah, and the off- centre front entry is marked by a project gabled porch with curved flight of concrete steps leading down to ground level.Gable ends are clad in shingles; those to the sides of the house and dormers have bracketed eaves. Windows have timber-framed double-hung sashes, some with plain leaded glazing. The garage wing, to the south, is similarly detailed with tile-clad gable roof and rendered walls. The additional garage bay, added in 1980, is designed and detailed in a matching style.
A notably large Cypress hedge runs along the Narrak Road boundary, with an arched opening for the driveway. The landscaping to the front garden includes a large Canary Island date palm tree.
