The place has associations with early settlers and people identified with the development of Guildford and the Swan River Colony; The place is an integral part of the Meadow Street historic precinct; The place is a good example of the Victorian Regency style of architecture; and The place demonstrates a way of life for a certain strata of society in Guildford around the turn of the century, of which few examples remain with this degree of integrity and authenticity. The detached garage has little heritage significance.
A single-storey brick residence with the front of the house being symmetrical in plan, two matching front rooms with a central passage. It has a shallowly pitched corrugated iron roof reflecting the semi-octagonal ends of the front rooms. A narrow timber framed bullnosed verandah reflects the profile of the front of the house. Both the roof and verandah are richly decorated with cast iron ornament. Internally the moulded cornices, timber mantelpieces. Window and door frames seem to be largely intact in all the major spaces of the original house. The extension on the southern side is a good example of a carefully considered addition closely reflecting the character of the original. Extensions to the rear are generally sympathetic to the character of the house and have replaced the original service areas.
The place is associated with the growth of Guildford in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
