What is Significant?
The house at 304 Glenferrie Road, Malvern was designed and constructed by local builder G F Ballantyne in 1918. Additions were made in 1926 to designs by architect Leslie Reed creating the present attic storey bungalow character.

-The external form, materials and detailing from the 1918 and 1926.

-The generally high integrity to its interwar state.

-The domestic garden setting (but not the fabric of the garden itself).

Modern fabric, including the front fence and entry pergola, is not significant.
