House, 20 Ashburton Terrace, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from c1920s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area.
20 Ashburton Terrace is a single storey, weatherboard and iron house with a symmetrical facade designed in a style similar to the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with painted weatherboards. The roof is gabled and clad with corrugated iron. The facade is partially obscured by trees and bushes. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof and is supported by square timber posts. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line.
The land on which house 20 Ashburton Street stands was vacant in 1924/25 and owned by William John Highman and Harry Norman Highman, who owned much of the surrounding area. In 1927/28 ownership transferred from the Highmans to John Balance Lutley In the following rate period of 1928/29 Lutley was the owner/occupier of a house. Lutley was still listed as the owner/occupier in 1939/40 and occupied the house until at least 1949. 20 Ashburton Street was formerly numbered 8 Ashburton Terrace; numbering changed in 1938/39. Prior to that the house was 2 Ashburton Terrace and earlier was located in Mary Street which existed where Ashburton Terrace and Bellevue Terrace are now located. This area of Fremantle changed significantly in the late 1920s with many roads being closed or extended.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). High degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
