COATH COTTAGE - Physical Description 1
Typical for the early permanent housing on the Bendigo gold field, this house currently has two front rooms under a simply gabled roof, two rooms under an added skillion and a rear former kitchen and scullery which were presumably once detached. The kitchen has a rear verandah.
This typical gold-era cottage consists of a stone (coursed and rubble) and brick (painted) simply gabled wing at the front, with a hipped concave-roof verandah and, at the rear, is a rubble stone, simply hipped (kitchen?) service wing (earlier?), both with attached brick chimneys with corbelled tops. A parapeted skillion wing links the two wings. The door is four-panelled and multi-paned timber sash windows are used in both wings. A rough slurry has been applied to most walls and the roofing is corrugated iron.
COATH COTTAGE - Integrity
External - The verandah has been rebuilt with new posts, bressumer (empathetic) and an unrelated concrete floor. Roof details (side fascia) have also been changed, although the spiked ogee guttering to the front is typical of the 19th century. The stone and brick facade has been painted.
COATH COTTAGE - Physical Description 2
Landscape - Little landscape other than shrub at side and climber on fence, therefore of no significance.
