Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 3 Prospect Avenue has a typical front setback of approximately 5 metres, with smaller side setbacks and a driveway along the side. These setbacks are shown on the 1927 GWST Plan of Drainage.4 A recent timber picket fence forms the front boundary and is approximately 1500mm high.
The asymmetrical, single storey weatherboard interwar Californian Bungalow house is characterised by a rear gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a gable roof that projects towards the street frontage and a hipped verandah that projects at the side. These roof forms appear to be clad in corrugated zincalume. Wide overhangs are a feature of the eaves. The early timber framed double hung windows are arranged in pairs on the street facade. The upper lights are six paned. A long window hood traverses the projecting gable and is supported by simple, early timber brackets. The timber and glazed front door also appears to be early.
A feature of the design is the side verandah. It is supported by plain timber posts which in turn are supported by an early rendered brick pier with a concrete capping. A solid rendered brick balustrade with a concrete capping forms the verandah boundary.
Early decorative features of the design include the gable infill (brackets, panelling and battening).
