ARCHITECTURE
Federation / Federation Bungalow w Georgian Influences
No. 7 (previously was no. 25) Preston Point road is a single storey house constructed in limestone, brick and rendered brick with a hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The place is highly elevated on its site which gives it some prominence. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a full width skillion roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts with post brackets. A St Andrews Cross balustrade spans between the posts. The balustrade is a recent piece of restoration work. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and casement windows with hopper lights. The place sits on limestone foundations. The walls are face brick with rendered string courses and sills. A set of stairs leads down to the garden from the verandah.
