Statement of Significance
A double-fronted timber Bungalow, built in 1923. It is historically significant locally as physical evidence of family life in the inter-war period in Ringwood and as one of several in this street (possibly) built by local builder Harry Peake including no's 4 and 6, and probably 10, but this house was built by Peake as his own residence. It is architecturally significant as an exemplar of this domestic style.

House - Physical Description 1
Double-fronted timber Bungalow with a pyramidal hipped-roof. The left and centre bays are recessed as the verandah, beneath the hip. This is supported by a broad bressumer, over a rendered cylindrical pylon at the external angle over a plate-capped brick pier on the splay. A brick balustrade extends to a pier at the central entrance with a standard spherical lamp on a wrought iron stand. At right is a canted bay window with timber shingle fascia, under the hip. The roof is clad with glazed Marseilles pattern tiles and rafters are exposed.
House - Intactness
Excellent. A sympathetic gabled carport has been recently added at left. The timber palisade picket fence is recent, anachronistic and not appropriate. Paint colours are appropriate.
House - Physical Conditions
Excellent.
