Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 134 Roslyn Road has significant views to the Barrabool Hills to the west and the Leopold hill to the east. This house is visually connected to other single storey, timber and brick interwar and postwar houses along the tree-lined streetscape. This house has typical front and side setbacks, with a driveway along the side. These setbacks are shown on the 1949 GWST Plan of Drainage.
The symmetrical, single storey weatherboard interwar Californian Bungalow house is characterised by a rear, major traversing gable with two gables and central flat roof verandah that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms appear to be clad in corrugated colorbond. Wide overhangs and exposed rafters are features of the eaves. The early timber framed double hung? windows are arranged in horizontal banks of three under the gables.
A feature of the design is the central, projecting flat roofed verandah, that extends to form window hoods either side. The verandah appears to be supported by recent timber posts with an appropriate capped timber balustrade between.
