Statement of Significance

This early Victorian-era farm house is of significance to the City for its age, its unusual wall materials for the era and area (brick), its illustration of a disappearing building type and its associations with a pioneering family in the Clyde district ( Gates).

  Hill Farm - Physical Description 1
  
  This distinctive early hipped roof cottage is and set on a relatively bare hill among undulating pasture. The walls are made from slop-moulded well-burnt bricks set in an English bond which have been rendered over in part with what appears to be a lime-based mortar. The cottage has multi-pane glazing and a later (1930s?) brick chimney but the concave verandah is gone along with a reputed rear skillion. Shingles are visible on the roof under the corrugated iron.
  Two pepper trees are in front of the house, a 'Ceanothus papillosus' at the rear door, tree lucerne at the side, and young gums on the drive.
