GOYNE HOUSE

The property at 131 Goynes Road, Epsom built in 1887 for John Goyne junior, comprising a late-Victorian house, brick kitchen and timber slab outbuilding, is significant.

The property at 131 Goynes Road Epsom is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo.

The house has a high level of integrity when compared with a number of other nineteenth century comparable residences in Epsom and is considered to be an excellent and representative example of its type in the locality. (Criterion D) 

The house at 131 Goynes Road is a representative example of a Victorian timber residence with a symmetrical front elevation, convex verandah with cast iron frieze, sash windows with sidelights and a four panelled door. The brick kitchen at the rear (now converted to a bedroom and joined to the house) is notable for its small casement windows, chimney and painted initials 'JG 1905'. The vertical timber slab outbuilding is notable in its form and vernacular construction method, although much of the timber is likely to have been replaced. (Criterion E)
