Statement of Significance

Glen Afton is architecturally significant to the Cardinia Shire for its hitherto high state of external preservation, the uncommon brick construction and relatively high ornamentation of one of its farm house wings and the evident age of the other wing. There is also, historically, a strong locally significant connection with the McCraw and possibly the Patullo families, both representing the pioneering efforts of selectors and small landholders in the Shire.

      Glen Afton (Glenafton Stud) - Physical Description 1

      This complex includes a double-fronted Edwardian-era face brick farm house wing with a generous return ornamented bullnose-profile verandah. Behind it, is an earlier Victorianera weatherboard hipped roof wing, with an uncommon concave profile verandah along one side, indicating a date in the 1870s-80s. A feature of both houses is the numerous red brick chimneys along the roofline, possibly added to both houses when the front wing was erected in 1909. There are old and new out-buildings at the rear. The house is set well back in the allotment with planting including a mature Monterey cypress row at the boundary and some old gums in the paddock. Some orchard trees may lie behind the house.

      Physical Conditions

      Glen Afton (Glenafton Stud) - Physical Conditions

      Major change are planned to the timber wing, including rebuilding the verandah and north wall, removal of the chimney and most of the internal partitions. Until recently the north verandah had been enclosed but otherwise the exterior of both wings were relatively well preserved.
