Statement of Significance
Aesthetically, this is a superior example of an asymmetrical Victorian villa with full detailing. It also demonstrates the only known example in the South Gippsland Shire of a cast iron verandah. The context of the building is enhanced by the mature, manicured gardens on the property, including the two mature Auracaria trees. This place significantly contributes to the aesthetic character of Clarence Street and Loch. (Criteria E)

COLONIAL HOUSE - Physical Description 1
"Colonial House" at 25 Clarence Street, Loch is an asymmetrical Victorian hip and valley weatherboard villa with projecting bays to the front and side and a return bullnose verandah. The front bay has a full height added octagonal bay with segmental arch heads to the windows. Other notable elements include:
- Corbelled brick chimneys with rounded cappings above the corbels
- Eaves decoration of paired brackets and alternating "cricket bat" moulds and bosses.
- Dentil moulds beneath the verandah gutter boards.
- Slender cast iron posts and a cast iron frieze to the verandah. (One of only two known examples in the Shire)
- A three part front double hung window and wide door casing with panelled door and sidelights.
- False ashlar weatherboards to the front of the house.
There are two large Araucaria trees at the front boundary. A modern steel picket fence at the front boundary is inappropriate.Heritage Study and Grading
