HOUSE & FRONT FENCE - Physical Description 2
This weatherboard Californian Bungalow has a typically dominant gable-fronted roof with two smaller gabled bays projecting forwards from the front of the house; a smaller gable to the left containing a room, and a larger gable over the porch. The gable ends are decorated with timber shingles supported on timber modillions and there are diamond-shaped vents to the main and porch gables. The porch gable has a timber frieze and rests on square brick piers with a rendered band and tapered rendered top. Both the pier and the brick balustrade are constructed of red bricks with clinker bricks laid as decorative soldier course at mid-wall height. There are triple panelled casement windows in both the east and west bays.
The house is complemented by the extraordinary brick and render front fence, which matches the verandah piers and balustrades in materials form and detailing. The tall end piers and those framing the entrances match the verandah piers, while the fence wall is the same as the balustrade. The front garden features mature plantings including several Italian or Mediterranean cypresses (Cupressus sempervirens) in a line behind the front fence, and a Canary Island Palm (Phoenix canariensis).
