Statement of Significance

Campaspe Villa is a single storied house constructed in 1855-56 to the designs of and for architect Gabriel Fleck. Additions were made subsequently to suit its use as a school. The bluestone house is constructed in random coursed masonry and has a hipped iron roof, continued to form a timber verandah. The verandah has a shaped timber valence and the chimneys are also features.
Campaspe Villa forms part of the notable townscape of Kyneton, an important nineteenth century highway town. Flecks house is an early surviving house and is given added interest both as the architect's own house and also in comparison with his other works in Kyneton. The house has subsequent historical associations also. Architecturally, the villa is Colonial in style and is of note for its valence and its evolved form.
Campaspe Villa is largely intact and in good condition.
