Statement of Significance
The house at 131 Goynes Road is a representative example of a Victorian timber residence with a symmetrical front elevation, convex verandah with cast iron frieze, sash windows with sidelights and a four panelled door. The brick kitchen at the rear (now converted to a bedroom and joined to the house) is notable for its small casement windows, chimney and painted initials 'JG 1905'. The vertical timber slab outbuilding is notable in its form and vernacular construction method, although much of the timber is likely to have been replaced. (Criterion E)

GOYNE HOUSE - Physical Description 1
The house at 131 Goynes Road Epsom is located on a rural allotment. It has a substantial and well planted garden between the road and the house. A recently constructed timber picket fence borders the site. A photograph in possession of the current owners indicates that 131 Goyne's Road is in close to its original condition externally. The front part of the house is of weatherboard construction and is designed in the Victorian style with a symmetrical front elevation, a pair of face brick decorative chimneys and a verandah with cast iron frieze and brackets. Windows are timber framed sashes with sidelights. At the rear there is a brick section of the house with a large chimney. This was once a detached kitchen but is now incorporated into the house through an extension that links the two buildings. It is possible that the brick part pre-dates the house, judging by the evidence provided by the small casement windows; however this has not been confirmed. Painted initials 'JG 1905' remains on the brickwork. Several outbuildings are set behind the house, one of which is constructed of timber vertical slabs and has a hipped roof. Although built of a particular traditional vernacular construction method, the condition of the timber is extremely good, indicating that it has probably been rebuilt. A modern steel shed has been constructed behind this outbuilding.
