    Warley Cottage, 94 Hesse Street, Queenscliff - Physical Description 1

    The duplex is built of timber, is hip-roofed and possesses a concave roof verandah of timber posts and capitals, panelled cast-iron and finished brackets (the friezes on

    Shenfield cottage are missing). Each cottage had pronounced timber eaves-brackets, single window bays(6) and, originally, there was a painted picket front fence where now there is a double paliside, square-head picket.

    This duplex construction-form, combined with an undivided hipped roof and timber materials, is unusual in Queenscliff and elsewhere because of early fire-separation requirements which tended to break the roof-line and destroy the intended visual illusion of the duplex being one large house. The cottages when intact, were a well detailed and designed example of their type, the window bays and the panelled iron work lending further distinction.

    Extract from the 2009 study

    Warley Cottage is a double-fronted weatherboard Victorian cottage with a hipped roof clad in corrugated galvanised steel sheeting, which is one of a pair of semi-detached houses (94 and 96 Hesse Street). The dwelling is set back from the street by a shallow garden. A timber picket fence extends along the street boundary. The house has eaves brackets and a concave profile roofed verandah with timber posts and cast iron fretwork. A central door is flanked on one side by a double-hung sash window and on the other side by a canted bay window. The house has two rendered brick chimneys with Classically-inspired mouldings at their tops.
