Statement of Significance
Architecturally, the house is of a minority building material in the study area (stone) and possesses some early verandah details. It also is related to nearby houses of a similar age.
Historically, the house is recognisably from the early era of quartz mining in the locality and appears, by its ownership, to have had some connection with this activity which was so significant in the district. It has also been the residence of successive clergy and hence takes on a quasi-public building role given the prominence of these men in that era.

House - Physical Description 1
Faced with Flemish-bonded red brick (9"?), this house is constructed substantially from random rubble freestone, with red brick also used for the three visible corbel-top chimneys and as a border to side-wall openings. The high simply-hipped roof line is also typical of early houses, together with a simple skillion roof at the rear over service rooms. A 1950s plan shows six main rooms and what appear to have been a detached kitchen, scullery and servant's room in a proposal to convert the house to two flats.[1]
The original hipped and concave line of the verandah roof line is also still visible, despite recent recladding with bituminous covered aluminium tiles. A scalloped timber verandah frieze also appears original, stretching between coupled timber posts with built-up capitals. Although possibly not the original balustrading, the lattice-work is related to the house construction period. Rubble stonework supports the verandah and a grand stair, constructed from brick and stucco, piered and with a mid--landing, descends to the lower lawn.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
