Statement of Significance

Heatherleigh Place is of regional significance as a fine and largely intact example of an interwar suburban estate with cul de sac, or court, developed largely by a single building company for a middle-class clientele. The houses to the cul the sac, consistent in style, demonstrate the eclectic approach to design and applied ornament typical of the building profession at this time; the associated emphasis on distinctive and individual house design for each allotment ensures diversity within what otherwise presents as a coherent and unified environment. The court is also notable for its retention of interwar period features such as street trees, concrete road surfacing, and low fences, the whole combining to create an enclosed, quiet and pleasing environment
