Statement of Significance
The late Victorian-style building is significant from an architectural perspective and the site has
considerable landscape significance, because of its location in the fruit irchards and due to many
mature Oak trees on the alignment of an old access route to the homestead site
Landscape Significance
About 10 very fine Oak trees, orchards
