This homestead is a good example of an early Western Australian Homestead. The original holding extended from existing boundary to the north, existing boundary to the east incorporated a large part of Yarragadee to the South. Very few similar buildings remain in the district.
The homestead is situated on Nangetty Creek and is visible from the road. The owners live in a transportable building nearby. The homestead complex comprises two linked hipped-roof buildings, the smaller one with simpler finishes appearing to be older. Construction is of mudbrick/mudwash limewash walls in the old part; the newer part is mudbrick treated limewash interior and lime plaster. Brick quoins on corners and doorways. Iron roof, rammed earth floors. The newer building has feature breezeway walls in a centrally located lounge. Verandahs are about 10ft wide. Knotted pine ceilings.
Integrity: Original fabric still intact, but deteriorating rapidly. Modifications: Some verandah infill
Poor and deteriorating. Dropping verandahs have caused cracking in exterior walls. White ants in ceiling. Weathering of mud bricks through loss of protective render. Roof starting to lift.
