House, 20 Hampton Road is a single storey brick and tile house dating from the 1930s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Inter-War California Bungalow style of architecture.
Single storey brick and brick rendered, above limestone foundations and tile hipped gable roof residence, set back from the pavement behind a low brick wall. The house façade, front wall and balustrade have similar decorative face brick motifs. The roof, which has two chimneys and a half-timbered gable extends over the veranda and is supported by rendered columns onto brick pillars and brick and rendered low wall balustrades. There is an attached garage on the right side of the house.
The street derives its name from John Stephen Hampton, the Governor from 1862-68, previously Comptroller of Convicts in Tasmania. His son, G. E. Hampton, was Acting Comptroller-General of the Fremantle Convict Establishment. The land on which house 20 Hampton Road stands was vacant in 1935/36 and owned by George Frederick Powell and Frank Wainer Powell. In the following rate period the Powells had subdivided Lot 818 and Part 1 of 818 was owned by Charles William and Elizabeth Myrtle Laming who were building a house. The Lamings were the owner/occupiers until at least 1951/52. This part of Hampton Road was renamed Ord Street in 1937/38. The Lamings house was number 46. The street named reverted back to Hampton in 1951/52 and the current number was assigned to the house at this time.
