house

End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey house, c.1900. Reroofed, c.1975. Pitched (shared) roof with replacement concrete tile, c.1975, concrete ridge tiles, red brick irregular bond chimney stack having stepped capping, red brick irregular bond buttressed chimney stack to corner having stepped, rendered coping, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having iron ties. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows having louvered timber false external shutters. Square-headed door opening in elliptical-headed recess with cut-granite step, and glazed timber panelled door. Interior with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.

An amiable small-scale house making a picturesque impression in Robert Street with attributes shared in common with further houses nearby, including the swept profile articulating the door (see also 15605129), identifying a mutual, if understated architectural theme in the street scene. Having been well maintained, the house continues to present an early aspect with much of the historic or original fabric surviving in place, both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby upholding the character of the streetscape.
