Statement of Significance

"Melrose" is of regional importance as a surviving and substantially intact example of a large villa residence designed by the noted Melbourne architect, Charles Webb. Its importance is enhanced by the use of unusually fine cast iron balustrading.

As a surviving large villa designed by Charles Webb, it compares with his own home "Farleigh" (1865), in Brighton whilst the tower compares with his first home "Chilton" (c.l853) .
