Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION:
The house known as Bavelaw at 22-24 Stephens Parade is set on a substantial allotment and has wide north and side setbacks. The house has uninterrupted visual connection with Barwon Heads Gold Course and the Barwon Heads Clubhouse. There are several early and substantial cypress trees immediately north of the site, on the southern fringe of the golf course.
The horizontal weatherboard interwar Bungalow is characterised by a two store, hipped roof wing, together with single storey hipped roof structures to the east, west and south. These roof forms appear to be clad in unpainted and lapped corrugated asbestos or fibro cement sheet. Two early cement rendered chimneys (one with a terra cotta pot) adorn the roofline. Wide overhangs are a feature of the eaves. The early timber framed double hung windows are predominantly arranged singularly or in pairs. An interesting feature of the design is the slight bellcast profile at the ends of the hipped roofs.
