Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The cottage at 13 Roslyn Road has a typical front setback, but a wide side setback due to the large size of the allotment. These setbacks are shown on the 1931 GWST Plan of Drainage. The front is bound by a recent yet appropriate timber picket fence, approximately 1200mm high. A recent flat roofed lychgate is also situated on the front boundary.
The single storey, symmetrical, brick, Victorian styled cottage is characterised by a dominant hipped roof form, together with a convex verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms appear to be clad in corrugated zincalume. The front of the cottage is constructed of unpainted brick, with rendered door and window surrounds. The sides of the cottage are rendered, while there is also a skillion horizontal weatherboard extension at the rear. Two early rendered brick chimneys, with early projecting cappings (but recent circular patterned panels underneath?) and terra cotta pots adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves. The early timber framed double hung windows are symmetrically arranged about a central doorway with highlight?
A feature of the design is the front verandah, supported by iron columns, with decorative brackets and valance between.
