Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 11 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 1927 GWST Plan of Drainage.
The asymmetrical, single storey weatherboard interwar Californian Bungalow house is characterised by a gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a minor gable and a vernandah gable that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in corrugated zincalume? An early brick chimney adorns the roofline. Wide overhangs and exposed rafters are features of the design. The early timber framed windows are arranged in horizontal banks of three, with wider fixed central lights and flanking double hung windows. The front timber and glazed? door and highlight also appear to be early.
A feature of the design is the projecting verandah gable, which is tapered toward its lower reaches. It is supported by recent timber columns.
Early decorative features of the design include the gable brackets and the gable infill (timber joinery simulating shingling, stucco work and battening).
