Hope Cottage is one of many houses built on the Farmer's property. Such structures indicate the family's historic significance in the Boddington district. The family still work and live in the Boddington district.
The Cottage remains significantly deteriorated. However, support beams and fragments of the walls remain. The roof has rusted and almost entirely caved in, whilst a significant portion has has blown away. The owner's main storage sheds surround the cottage.
The cottage was originally built for Charles, the eldest son of Thomas Farmer, and his wife, Emily Farmer.
C. R. Farmer, son of Charles Farmer, grew up in the cottage until he was twelve years old. They left the building as it was very basic in comparison to the newer homesteads built on the property.
