10 JAMES STREET, Guildford WA 6055

Enchanting 2-storey residence SOLD by Heidi McAtee is steep in history with its origins dating back as early as 1830 and being the FIRST Hotel in Guildford (C1836 to C1896) with beers brewed on site and later being used as a School - forming the embryo of Guildford Grammar by Guildford Grammar's former Headmaster, Mr Bennett.
