Description
The dwelling at 11 Stinton Avenue is set on an average-sized allotment. It has a small front setback comprising open grassed areas with perimeter garden beds and a side driveway. The low front boundary front fence has been introduced.
The asymmetrical, single storey, face brick, interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a broad hipped roof form, together with a minor gable and flat roofed verandah that project towards the street frontage. The main roofs are unusually clad in slate, while the verandah has a sheet metal roof. Two early brick chimneys adorn the roofline. Broad overhangs are features of the eaves.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It is supported by face brick piers with clinker brick soldier-coursed tops and concrete cappings, which in turn support paired squat and tapered Doric concrete columns.
Other early features of the design include in the large segmentally-arched window opening on the front gable accentuated by clinker brick voussoirs and with timber framed windows and highlights (unusual for an interwar Bungalow of this modest scale), other timber framed double hung windows, front doorway with sidelight, and the timber shingling in the gable end.
