DESCRIPTION
This site at 10 Church Street is visually connected to other single storey, pitched roof houses of varying styles and periods. This house has typical front and side setbacks, with a driveway along the side. These setbacks are shown on the 1927 GWST Plan of Drainage. The front is bound by an inappropriate stepped brick fence with a tiled capping and is approximately 500mm high.
The single storey, horizontal weatherboard, interwar Californian Bungalow is characterised by a dominant gable roof form, together with a flat roofed verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms appear to be clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Wide overhangs are features of the eaves. The early timber framed double hung windows are arranged as a horizontal bank of three under the verandah. The timber and glazed? front door also appears to be early. A feature of the design is the front verandah. It is has exposed rafters and is supported by timber posts with curved timber brackets.Early decorative features of the design include the window leadlighting and the decorative gable infill (brackets, roughcast panelling and timber battening).
