It appears this attractive villa residence was constructed for land agent Leslie Pattie during late-1907 or early-1908.
A rates book for the 1907-08 rating year notes Margaret Alice Pattie (Leslie's wife), as the ratepayer for lots 24-26 & 31-33 of Chilmans Estate - the rateable value at this time was £340.
However, by the following 1908-09 rating year, the rateable value for the six sections increased to £853 - likely indicating the construction of the present villa. This value remained the same for the 1909-10, 1910-11, and 1911-12 rating years.
