Aesthetically, 'Sunbury' (Former) is significant as a substantially intact inter-war bungalow with a complementary garden that provides a good architectural example of the suburban Californian Bungalow. (AHC criterion E1)

House and Garden - Sunbury (former) - Physical Description 1
An excellent example of the suburban Australian version of the Californian Bungalow, this residence retains most of its architectural features (as viewed from the street). Windows in the front verandah and the neighbouring bay window are the only obvious alterations. The curved path and garden bed in front of the verandah may be relatively recent but are in keeping with the bungalow character. (1)
The terracotta roof form is a series of intersecting gables with weatherboard face, the main gable with a shingled upper section. Brick chimney and verandah post plinths compliment the dark stained weatherboard walls and a white paint finish highlights the key structural timbers and decorative features such as the multi-paned port hole window and exposed rafters.
