Statement of Significance
A characteristic and apparently particularly intact Federation timber house built about 1910 in a then rural location. It is historically significant locally in providing evocative physical evidence of family life at rural Croydon before the Great War. It is architecturally significant locally as a relatively rare, intact house of this architectural style, with contextual elements such as the garden, very long fence (of a rare type), massive hedge and several mature trees.

Rangeview - Physical Description 1
The house and garden are particularly heavily obscured by vegetation.
A hip-roofed triple-fronted timber Federation house, with the left bay set forward as a gable. This has an octagonal bay window at its angle with double-hung sashes, the upper sash inscribing diamond-shaped glazing bars. Other windows are casements. The corrugated iron roofing has unglazed terra-cotta finials and cresting. A verandah under the main roof returns around the right angle. Under, on the angle is a rectangular bay window. Verandah posts are turned and there is a simple palisade timber valence. Chimneys have two deep roughcast bands, on red brick. At rear is a skillion.
There is a massive, four metre high cypress hedge on the Croydon Road boundary, over a simple chain-link fence on timber posts and top rail. This continues at the Lincoln Road boundary, but the mesh has rare 20mm links. There are seven major mature cypresses, two peppercorns (?), and two eucalypts.
A sketch plan is attached.
