The single storey brick and iron residence, in the Federation Bungalow style, has cultural significancebecause: it has historical associations with Edward Harrison, Thomas Bate, Robert Henry Clifton and Patricia Stephenson; it is an attractive example of an adapted bungalow of its style, with a moderate level of integrity; the place is part of a cultural group and a townscape area.
The place is an attractive and straightforward example of its style, which has been sympathetically adapted to current standards and requirements. The layout of the bungalow is basically symmetrical, whilst the verandahs are only located on the front and driveway facades. The bungalow is visually closer to the Victorian period than the InterWar period, being close to Victorian Georgian in character. The place retains a moderate level of integrity.
This place was built on the site of Edward Harrison's house, by Thomas Bate. Harrison was the gardener for theMcNeils at the 'The Cliffe' and had, reputedly, been the gardener for Lord Kitchener in Cairo. Civil Servant Robert Henry Clifton, Undersecretary for Crown Lands in 1911, bought the house c.1915 and owned it until c.1955 after which the residence was owned by his daughter, Patricia Stephenson. Considerable historical significance.
