Statement of Significance
This large Victorian-era farm house and its mature and exotic planted setting are of significance to the City for their age; their prominence in the area; the house's unusual wall materials for the era and area (brick); the house's illustration of a disappearing building type in the City; and the house and planting's associations with a pioneering family in the Lysterfield district.
The store and well are of State significance for the rarity of construction and form.

Warren Park - Physical Description 1
Description
This large stuccoed Italianate farm house faces to the west across the valley, surrounded by many mature exotics such as a Moreton Bay fig near the pool, oaks, elms, Norfolk Island hibiscus, a bunya bunya, Hawthorn hedges along the Hallam Road frontage and a hoop pine. The verandah floors and steps are stone and paired timber posts are used to support the concave roof. Cast-iron has been added. Slim half-height side lights are used on the front door which terminate at the window sill height, a configuration typical of 1860s-70s buildings. The roof is an M hip-form and the cemented chimney mouldings are slimmer than those used later in the 19th century.
Perhaps the most significant structure on the property is a cemented conical store and well housing which is sited close to the house over a deep brick-lined well. A large 'Prunus sp'. at the door may be a threat to this well.Heritage Study and Grading
