House, 5 Grey Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from c1915. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.
5 Grey Street is a single storey, rendered masonry and tile house with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with tiles. The facade has a central front door with fanlight flanked either side by casement windows. The verandah has a separate tiled roof and is supported by ionic columns with a moulded plaster balustrade. There is a low level brick wall to the front boundary line. A brick and rendered corbel chimney is intact.
House, 5 Grey Street was formerly 39 Grey street; the numbering changing in 1934/35. The house is first recorded in 1914 in the Post Office Directories of that year. The occupant was Mrs E. E. Ashton. A photograph of the house in 1978 shows that it was in good condition with a tiled roof. The verandah supports, balustrades and front brick fence all appear to be later additions. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Brown: "Positively contributing to the built environment")
