Residence - Physical Description 1
Descirption
The site at 4 Ozone Road has visual connections to the Barwon River and Ocean Grove Reserve to the east and pine trees to the west, and to significant focii, notably the Monkey Puzzle and Norfolk pine trees to the southeast and a substantial palm tree opposite. This site is also visually connected to other single and double storey, pitched roof houses of mixed styles and periods. The house has typical front and side setbacks, with rear side access to Margate Street. These setbacks are shown on the 1979 BHSA Plan of Drainage. The front is bound by a flat timber picket fence, approximately 1100mm high.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard Edwardian house is characterised by a galvanised iron hipped roof with a bullnosed verandah projecting towards the street frontage. An early, unpainted corbelled brick chimney adorns the roofline, while the narrow eaves feature worked brackets. The early timber framed double hung windows are arranged symmetrically about a central timber doorway, which may be original.
A feature of the design is the bullnosed verandah. It is supported by early worked timber columns with an early timber fretwork valance. Description
