Statement of Significance
Architecturally, an outstanding, well-preserved and distinctive house design, skilfully adapting what appears to be an English Edwardian Freestyle inspiration, in a period landscape setting also a major contributor to an important Bungalow era estate: of State importance.
Historically, interesting as the residence of Frank Le Leu, a prominent figure in local building activity: of regional interest.

23 Sunnyside Avenue - Physical Description 1
This is an unusual house design for the home of a designer-builder, appearing instead to have been architect designed. Taking on the British Edwardian Freestyle manner, such as practised by Voysey[6] and Edward Lutyens [7], the house also could be connected to the Bungalow ilk via the Swiss Chalet Bungalow. It is two-storey, stuccoed with a clinker brick base, and has a gabled and tiled roof. The windows are distributed in an informal fashion across the facade, some arched lunette type openings others boxed and others bayed: most have diamond-pattern leading and all are timber framed.
The fence is also notable with unusual piers, gates and broad-trellis panels set over a brick base. Mature period landscape surrounds the house.
