Statement of Significance

The Sunbury Road Precinct has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons:

• This group of houses have aesthetic value as they represent examples of the Federation
architectural style and contribute to the broader streetscape.

Physical Description

The Sunbury Road Precinct comprises three residential properties (no. 45, 49 & 51) along the southern side of Sunbury Road, toward the intersection of Sunbury Road and Axon Avenue. The three properties are constructed in the Federation Bungalow architectural style.

No. 45 is an asymmetrical single storey dwelling constructed of face brick walls and a corrugated steel hip and gable roof. There is a rendered masonry banding to the front elevation and rendered sills to the painted timber frame casement windows. A verandah extends the length of the front elevation and is supported by painted turned timber posts with decorative brackets. The gable to the east of the property has textured render.

No. 49 is an asymmetrical two storey dwelling constructed of face brick walls and a corrugated steel roof with a carport to the east corner of the building. Similar rendered banding to no. 45 is visible to the street elevation. The property is bounded by a medium height limestone and timber picket fence to the street. The second storey appears to be a later addition and is constructed of weatherboard clad walls and a corrugated steel hip and gable roof. There is another property to the rear of no. 49 which is accessed via a paved driveway to the east boundary.

No. 51 is a symmetrical single storey dwelling constructed of face brick walls and a corrugated steel hip roof. There is a central gable to the front verandah constructed of simple painted timber posts and corrugated steel. Similar rendered banding to no. 45 and no. 49 is visible to the street elevation. The place is located on a corner lot and addresses Sunbury Road. There is a low face brick fence to the north and east boundaries.
