Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house and farm complex known as at 272 Hardys Road Clyde, including the house, constructed in 1944, its front garden and the mature trees surrounding the house.
How is it significant?
The property is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Casey.
Why is it significant?
272 Hardys Road is historically important as a surviving soldier settler farm which has operated as a sheep, market gardening and dairy farm since 1918. The complex of farm buildings demonstrates the historic importance of the various forms of agriculture in the Clyde/Cranbourne district, in particular the importance of dairying which is still the primary use of this property. Whilst the farm buildings are of little architectural importance, the original (1962) milking shed, the modern rotary milking shed and the various machinery sheds demonstrate the historic development of such a property. (Criterion A)
272 Hardys Road is aesthetically significant as a high quality example of an interwar bungalow used as the centrepiece of a farming complex. It displays architectural features typical of bungalows of this period. In particular, the fibro cement walls, expansive hipped and tiled roof, prominent window architraves and the dominant front verandah supported on masonry columns and all contained under the main roof. The mature trees are an important feature of the property, which otherwise sits in a flat and treeless landscape.(Criterion E)
