HOUSE AT 5 Buller Terrace - Physical Description 1
The house at 5 Buller Terrace, Lower Templestowe is a single-storey brick pavilion built on an Hshaped plan with a steep pyramidal metal deck roof rising above a central living room. Either side of the central living area are narrow wings which segregate the kitchen/dining area to the front and the bedrooms to the rear. Along the front boundary of the property there is a narrow garden bed set in front of a high brick fence, projecting at left as a vehicular entrance beneath a flat canopy and at right as a pedestrian gate, forming a carefully articulated boundary. The boundary walls appear to extend along the side boundaries, enclosing the site. The driveway falls away steeply towards a garage which dates from the later additions to the house.
