Residence - Physical Description 1
The site at 8 Ramsgate Street is set in a tree-lined streetscape and has a view to a substantial pine at the west end. The site also has visual connections with other single storey, pitched roof, weatherboard, cement sheet and brick houses of varying styles and periods between 1925 and c. 1980. The site is bound at the front by a timber paling fence (approximately 1300mm high), and at the side by an early, substantial hedge (approximately 3000mm high). The site is bounded at the rear (north, onto Ramsgate Street) by a ivy creeper fence, approximately 2000mm high.
The house is on one of the larger blocks in the street, with typical front and side setbacks and a driveway along the side. These setbacks are shown on the 1974 BHSA Plan of Drainage.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard interwar Californian Bungalow house is characterised by a dominant gable that traverses the site. It is clad in recent galvanised iron deck roofing. An unpainted brick chimney adorns the roofline. Wide overhangs and exposed rafter are features of the eaves. The early timber framed single windows are double hung on the south side (fronting Campbell Street) and arranged into horizontal banks of three on the north side (Ramsgate Street).
A verandah spans across the north facade of the building, under the projection of the major gable. It is supported by recent columns. More recent additions to the building are apparent to the east and south, with projecting flat roofed extensions clad in horizontal weatherboard.
Early decorative features of the design include the gable shingling and ventilator.
