Coburg Place

Coburg Place comprises a pair of houses built in the 1850s, located on Melville Street and Rock Road in Torquay. The houses are contemporary with numbers 1 to 8 in the street but have a distinct architectural style. They are constructed of stucco and have gabled slate roofs with rendered stacks.

The houses have a double-depth plan; number 9 is one room wide, while number 10 is two rooms wide. The fronts are asymmetrical, with two storeys facing west and four to the rear. Number 9 has deep eaves and a sill band at first-floor level. It features two round-headed ground-floor windows with blind recesses below the sills, and a round-headed doorway to the right with a plain fanlight; the original doors were likely four-panel. There are three segmental-headed first-floor windows with 12-pane sashes. Number 10 is similar, with an additional set-back bay to the right featuring matching windows and two blind first-floor windows on the right-hand side. The right return has two upper-storey sashes with segmental heads, and two round-headed windows below, the left-hand window blind and the right-hand window with a cast-iron balcony. The rear elevations feature matching windows. The round-headed windows of number 10 have individual balconies. The interiors remain uninspected but may contain original features.
