Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 29 Mount Pleasant Road has visual connections with the recent flowering gum tree-lined streetscape and to the Belmont Common to the east. This house is set in a streetscape formed by predominantly Edwardian and interwar Bungalow single storey homes. This house is similar in type and materials with others visually connected to it. The house has wider front and side setbacks than most other houses in this section of the street, due to the large size of the block. These setbacks are shown on the 1927 GWST Plan of Drainage.4 Some substantial exotic trees are a feature of the garden.
The single storey, asymmetrical weatherboard Federation house is characterised by the interlocking hipped and projecting gable roof forms, clad in galvanised corrugated iron. A return verandah, formed under the projection of the main hipped and gable roofs, is a feature of the design. Two tall, red brick chimneys with terra cotta pots adorn the roof line. The early timber framed windows appear to be double hung?.
The return verandah is supported by early worked timber posts. Early capped timber balustrading and shingling are a feature of the verandah, as is the decorative verandah fretwork valance.Other early decorative features include the gable infill (ventilators and brackets).
