House, 3 Chester Street is a single storey timber and tile house constructed as a simple variation of the Inter-War Californian Bungalow style of Architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with timber weatherboards to dado height and fibre cement sheeting. The roof is hipped and clad with tiles. The verandah is under a continuous tiled roof. The asymmetrical front façade has a front door and window under the verandah. The protruding front room has an aluminium window. There is a face brick chimney evident. There is a timber picket 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. Eric Anderson owned the vacant lot in 1947/48 and by the 1951/52 rate period was the owner/occupier of a house on the lot.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). High degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as fair to good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
