HOUSE - Physical Description 1
2 Rockbeare Grove, Ivanhoe, is a single-storey timber Edwardian bungalow set in a pleasant landscape setting. The house has a hipped, Marseilles patterned terracotta tiled roof with terracotta ridge crestings and finials. A small tower, square in plan, marks the corner of Waverley Avenue and Rockbeare Grove. Walls are weatherboarded, with the exception of the upper part of the tower which is roughcast rendered. A verandah faces Waverley Avenue, supported on timber posts with plinths finished in roughcast render. The posts have decorative carved timber brackets. A small porch projects into the centre of the verandah, dividing it into two sections. There is a ripple iron awning over the entrance door, which has glazed sidelights. Windows on the two street elevations are leadlighted double-hung sashes. Chimneys are red brick, with terracotta pots.
