133 Hampton Road is a single storey, masonry and iron house built in 1887 and designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof supported on timber posts. There is a rendered corbelled chimney with chimney pot evident. There is a high brick wall to the front boundary line making further description difficult. This place contains a limestone feature.
Hampton Road was originally called Prison Road. It derives its name from John Stephen Hampton (1810-1869), the Governor of WA from 1862-68. He was previously Comptroller of Convicts in Tasmania. His son, G. E. Hampton, was Acting Comptroller-General of the Fremantle Convict Establishment. House, 133 Hampton Road was built in 1887 for Edward Vagg, an enrolled pensioner guard. Mr Vagg subdivided the property and his daughter, Jessie Dixon, built a cottage next door (131 Hampton Road) c. 1892. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a stone house with full length front and rear verandahs. The front yard was fenced between the house and the street (as was the house next door at 131 Hampton Road). The backyards of 131 and 133 Hampton Road formed a large paddock with a well. There was a galvanised iron stable against the back boundary. The Vagg family continued to own the house until c. 1940, when it was sold to Agnes Thompson. By the early 1950s, it was owned by Ernest Aitken and by 1974, FTB Developments. In 1974, plans were submitted for the addition of a bathroom. House, 133 Hampton Road has had a few owners since the late 1970s. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
