Statement of Significance

2007 Study by: Context Pty Ltd

The house, because of its altered state, is of local interest only and contributory to the Patterson ownership theme with some early individually notable plantings associated with the property.
The carriage gate and picket gateway, identified in 1996 as significant to the Cardinia Shire for its design and association with the Patterson family, has been removed.

1996 Study by: Graeme Butler & Associates

The Jesmond Dene picketed gateway is significant to the Cardinia Shire because of its design, integrity and association with the Pattersons who represent the early farming endeavours in the area. The house, because of its altered external state, is of local interest only and contributory to the Patterson ownership theme with some early individually notable plantings associated with the property.

      JESMOND DENE HOUSE, TREES - Physical Description 1

      2007 Study by: Context Pty Ltd

      The house still shows its Edwardian origins (particularly in parts of the interior) but has been extensively altered and added to externally, with painted formerly red brickwork and added wings at various places around the house. Surrounding mature trees include a large oak, a cork oak, conifers planted as both windbreak and specimen plantings, and some Canary Island pines which make up the major part of the former garden ot the house. The garden beds and hard landscaping materials have been exstensively modified. However, a high proportion of mature tree stock remains extant within the garden and as windbreak plantings within the broader site.

      Four mature oak trees mark the main Officer South Road entry, two planted either side. This entrance has a recent iron picketed gateway and immature driveway planting.

      At the Patterson Road entry to the site (No. 105), a modern gate has replaced the notable carriage gate with scrolled timber detailing identified in the 1996 study. The picketed gateway remains extant.

      The house is set in open pasture, well in and among mature trees, with mature windbreak plantings and a less mature driveway planting. The property has frontages to two main roads; Officer South Raod and Patterson Road.

      The house still shows its Edwardian origins (particularly in parts of the interior) but has been extensively altered and added to externally, with painted formerly red brickwork and added wings at various places around the house. Surrounding mature trees include a large oak, a cork oak and some Canary Island pines which make up the major part of the former garden.

      The entry from Patterson Road is via a picketed gateway and notable picketed gate with scrolled timber detailing, appearing to be the older of the two entrances. The name of the property is placed to one side in art metal work. The main Officer South Road entry has a recent iron picketed gateway and immature driveway planting.
