House - Physical Description 1
39 Peate Avenue, Glen Iris is a substantial timber Edwardian Queen Anne villa on an elevated site,
within a large established garden. A steep pyramidal roof form is intersected by gabled wings set
perpendicular and extending over a return verandah. The roof is clad in terracotta tiles with decorative
ridge capping to the gabled wings and a terracotta finial at the roof apex. Two chimneys are of face
red brick with a roughcast rendered top and paired terracotta chimney pots.
The projecting front gable has decorative timber brackets at each end and a half-timbered gable end.
A tripartite window has double hung sash windows and coloured glass highlights. Decorative timber
detail in a cricket bat design is evident on the mullions. A double-curved pressed metal panel sits
over the window linking to the jettied gable above.
The return verandah features turned timber posts with a deep decorative frieze and complex
curvilinear brackets. The front entry is recessed at the far end of the verandah with the garden path
leading past the verandah to a set of steps. A box bay window below the corner of the verandah
creates a diagonal axis. The house features a rough cast rendered band that runs at mid wall height
around the house. A timber batten detail occurs at regular intervals. Several rows of scalloped edged
weatherboards run along the lower section of the walls.
A stepped brick fence of the 1920s is located along the front boundary. It features a central entry set
back from the street and a decorative chain-link mesh gate leading to a set of stairs and a garden
path. This type of gate was popular in the late 1910s and early 1920s. The fence has clinker brick
pillars with red brick panels between the pillars beneath a decorative rendered capping.
A separate gabled timber building sits directly adjacent to the main house. It is not shown on the
MMBW plan of 1926, and was built c1983-4 in a sympathetic style. Although visible from the street
this extension has a setback from the frontage and therefore is not considered to be overly intrusive.
