House, 4 Chester Street is a single storey, brick, rendered masonry and iron house with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed casement windows. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof supported on round steel posts with rendered masonry balustrade. Both ends of the verandah have a lattice infill. There is a face brick chimney evident. There is an extension at the rear of the house. There is a rendered masonry and steel fence to the front boundary line.
The Chester family were early settlers, and one of the sons had a butchering business. The area bounded by Douro Rd was originally called Chesterfield. Chester St was previously called William St and changed to Chester St in the 1901-02 rate period. In 1905/06 there were stables on the lot owned by Norman Thomas. In 1916/17 the land was vacant and owned by G A Lefroy and in 1934/35 the still vacant lot was owned by Victor Ducie. In c. 1937 Ernest Mincrullo was living in and owned the house at 4 Chester Street.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
