The house has aesthetic significance as a good and largely intact example of a late-Victorian weatherboard farmhouse. A rare surviving example of an orchard house in Templestowe, the house is sited on a large allotment with an original or early outbuilding and some mature pine trees, which evokes its originally rural setting. (RNE criterion E.1)
