"Claremont" - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 28 Seaview Parade has visual connections with the flowering gum tree-lined streetscape. This house is set in a streetscape formed by single storey brick and timber homes of varying styles and periods. There are some Edwardian houses dotted throughout. The house has a typical setback to the front and much larger southern side setback, due the house being located on two allotments. These setbacks are shown on the 1928 GWST Plan of Drainage.4 The site is bound at the front by an appropriate post and wire fence and gate surrounded by a timber framed lychgate. The original garden layout, including the pathway, is visible at the front.
The substantial single storey, triple-fronted weatherboard, interwar Bungalow house is characterised by a central dominant hipped roof form, together with gables that project to the front and side. These roof forms apear to be clad in corrugated zincalume. A red brick chimney adorns the roof top. Wide overhangs and exposed rafters are features of the eaves. The early eight paned, double hung timber framed windows are located under the verandah and also under the front projecting gable (which have a window hood above).
Another feature of the design is the return verandah, with its broken-back roof extending from the main hipped form. The verandah is supported on early? worked timber posts.
Early decorative features include the timber verandah post brackets, and timber window hood brackets.
