Church Manse (fmr), 162 Hampton Road, has aesthetic significance as a fine example of a stone residence in the Victorian Georgian style of architecture that make a contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is historically significant for its original purpose as the former Manse associated with St Paul's Church adjacent, and as such, has social significance to the local church community.
Church Manse, 162 Hampton Road is a single storey stone and zincalume house built in the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The house is set back about 10 metres from the street and on the northern side of St Paul's Church. The walls are limestone with tuck pointed brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with zincalume. There are two rendered prominent chimneys and a dropped verandah supported by timber posts and remnants of balustrades. The facade is symmetrical with timber framed double hung sash windows flanking a timber paneled central entrance door which has sidelights and a fanlight. Concrete steps lead up from ground level to the verandah and entrance.
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.
