Statement of Significance

A timber homestead of various date, which includes outbuildings of timber drop slab construction with bark roofing (beneath later iron); the main house brought to essentially its present stage by the architect J W Crawley in 1901, with picturesque decorative timber window hoods and gables, ornamental iron cresting and finials and high quality interior decoration in the parlour and dining-room - the former with delicate wallpaper and ceiling stencilwork in pinks and blues and the latter richly treated with imitation embossed gilt leather dado, a remarkable treatment of the raking sides of the ceiling to read as part of the frieze, elegantly coloured cornice, centre flower and a star-spangled ceiling.
