Statement of Significance
This structure is a very good, intact example of the Arts and Crafts style, hybridised with the early 1930s Cape Revival style. It is a unique example of the elaborate, free-standing houses that were constructed in this part of Stellenbosch, and is a rare architectural example. It has contextual, aesthetic and architectural significance, and contributes to the streetscape.
