Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The house at 31 Ozone Road is aesthetically significant at a LOCAL level. Although it has been relocated to this site and undergone various alterations, it still demonstrates some design qualities of the Late Victorian style. These qualities include the recessed gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a skillion front verandah and gable that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated iron roofs, two appropriate (c.1918) painted brick chimneys, timber framed double hung windows, and window hood. The worked timber finials on the gable ends also contribute to the aesthetic significance of the design. This house also makes a significant contribution to the residential, pitched roof streetscape.
The house at 31 Ozone Road is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the Flinders Estate subdivision of 1887 and the land sale by Thomas Roadknight and Co. in 1912.
Overall, the house at 31 Ozone Road is of LOCAL significance.

Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 31 Ozone Road has visual connections to the Ocean Grove Reserve to the east and pine trees to the west. This site is also visually connected to other single storey, pitched roof houses of mixed styles and periods. The house has typical front and side setbacks, with a driveway along the side. These setbacks are shown on the 1976 BHSA Plan of Drainage. The front is bound by a recent timber picket fence, approximately 1200mm high.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard Late Victorian house is characterised by a recessed gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a skillion front verandah and gable that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms appear to be clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Two introduced, c.1918 painted brick chimneys adorn the roofline. The early timber framed double hung windows are arranged singularly on the street facade. A window hood supported by worked timber brackets is located above the window on the projecting gable.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. Although its form may be original, it is supported by recent square timber posts with recent aluminium lace brackets.
Another decorative feature of the design is the worked timber finials on the gable ends.
