This single storey limestone and tiled roofed residence, in Victorian Late Georgian bungalow style, has cultural significance because: it is the first permanent residence in the suburb; it has historical association with William Sayer, a Solicitor-General and Crown Solicitor, in the pre and post Federation periods; it reflects the start of the suburb's association with important members of the legal profession; it is part of a cultural group and a townscape area
The place is constructed in a style consistent with the very early Gold Boom development period, before Federation styles became the norm. The style is most consistent with Late Colonial Georgian house patterns, although the dominant roof form makes it more akin to early Georgian building forms.
The bungalow is believed to be the first permanent residence in Peppermint Grove. William Sayer held a number of senior legal positions, including Secretary to the Law Department, Commissioner for Titles, Attorney General, Parliamentary Draftsman, Crown Solicitor and, between 1902 and 1904, he was Solicitor-General. Sayer purchased twelve blocks from the Peppermint Grove syndicate. Sayer was a valued member of the Peppermint Grove community. Considerable historical significance.
The place retains a moderatelhigh level of integrity. Tiles may have replaced an iron roof and verandah Single profile of roof and verandah may have replaced an earlier profile of separate roof and verandah, Verandah floor has been replaced. Recent additions.
