Statement of Significance
The historically layered farm nucleus, comprising Cape Dutch/Victorian/Cape Revival structures and
spatial and landscape orders and avenues, has intrinsic aesthetic, architectural and landscape
significance. There is also associational significance given the roles of Pickstone, Rhodes and Baker
in the development of the site.
