Statement of Significance

The building in its context in the Shore of Manjimup is an example of the simple domestic architectural style of the 1870's. The building, as the former home of the Wheatley family contributes to the social history of the period and is important as an example of a particular way of life. The original pastoral license for the land where Clover Cottage stands was made to Peter Wheatley in 1874.

Physical Description

The building consists of a single storied English bonded brick house, with a pitched roof and a verandah almost all the way around. There is a timber addition - a kitchen - attached at the back. The whole is covered in corrugated iron over the jarrah shingles. Pit sawn timber was used throughout, including the floors, doors and windows. Originally the ceilings in the main living rooms followed the line of the roof - the bedrooms are an example of this. Some of the wooden sheds and yards still remain.
