House at 478 - 482 Doncaster Road - Physical Description 2
The house at 478-482 Doncaster Road is a weatherboard, triple-fronted Californian Bungalow with major and minor gables facing the street. The minor gable at the front is set in the angle and faces Pettys Lane. The roof is Marseilles terracotta tiles with terracotta finials. The peaks of the gables are clad with timber shingles. The chimneys are quite small and low.
Externally, the main elevations of the house appear to be quite intact. There is a small, plain addition at the back of the Pettys Lane elevation. A high brick fence surrounding the property obscures it and is most inappropriate.
