Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 9 Regent Street has visual connections with the park opposite and with the Belmont Common to the east. This house is visually connected to other single storey houses in this section of Regent Street. It has typical front and side setbacks, with a driveway at the front. These setbacks are shown on the 1928 GWST Plan of Drainage.4 A corrugated iron and timber gate, approximately 2000mm high, is situated immediately east of the house at the end of the driveway.
The asymmetrical, single storey weatherboard transitional Edwardian and interwar Bungalow house is characterised by a dominant hipped roof form, together with a gable roof and gabled and skillion verandah that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in painted, lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Two early tall corbelled brick chimneys with terra cotta pots adorn the roofline. Wide interwar Bungalow overhangs and exposed rafters are features of the eaves. The early timber framed double hung windows are arranged in pairs under the gable and as a single window under the verandah - typical of Edwardian design. A window hood, supported by early timber brackets, is over the gable windows. The front timber and glazed door also appears to be early and is of interwar Bungalow design.
A feature of the house is the front verandah, with its small gable roof form. It is supported by early timber columns with worked brackets. An early capped timber picket balustrade forms the verandah boundary.
Apart from the verandah elements, early decorative features of the design include the gable brackets and gable infill (brackets, stucco work and battening)
