Statement of Significance

Both externally and internally, the place has aesthetic value arising from its ad hoc overlays, which give it a naïve visual quality.

The place has a strong association with the Cull family and demonstrates an unbroken family land holding which is becoming less common in Western Australia.

It is illustrative of the self-reliance of the early European settlers and the use they made of locally available building materials.

Finally, the place demonstrates the evolution of a vernacular cottage to meet the changing requirements of one family utilising simple, often expedient, construction techniques.

Physical Description

A two-storey cottage displaying elements of the Victorian Georgian style.

Integrity/Authenticity

The house holds high integrity.
