3 Wardrop Grove - Physical Description 1
Similar to Avalon (qv) at 2 Rowe Street, No 3 Wardrop Grove is typical of larger Californian Bungalow style houses. The house is of rendered brick and has two broad overlapping gables facing the street. The gables are infilled with weatherboards but were probably originally shingled. Overhanging eaves and exposed purlins carved as brackets are underscored by a deep verandah supported on heavy rendered brick verandah piers. The house has two distinctive semi-circular bay windows comprising series of double-hung sash windows. Between these is a pergola-like portico which marks the front entrance. Above the entrance is a gambrel roof bisected by a rendered chimney which adds to the picturesque form of the multi-gabled roofline.
Alterations include the recladding of the gable ends, the addition ofnon-matching windows to the gable and the painting of a distinctive swagged profile face-brick fence at the boundary.
