153 Anzac Terrace, Bassendean WA 6054

Welcome to Ashcroft, Circa 1900

Located on the corner of Anzac Tce and Iolanthe Street.

Occupying 1616sqm, this 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom is the only surviving homestead from the settlement of West Guildford. It was originally built in a portion of West Guildford (now Bassendean) when the land was subdivided for residential use in the 1890s.

The house is not heritage-listed, but it is regarded as significant by the State Heritage Council as an intact example of the late Federation style in timber.

This charming home has undergone extensive restoration and renovations.

This is a very rare property in that it has remained intact for over 100 years. Virtually all of the original features remain including the mantlepieces, picture rails, sash windows, Oregon four-panel doors, cedar skirting boards and architraves, beehive door handles, five-inch jarrah floorboards and high ceilings.

Modern conveniences include reverse cycle air-conditioning, undercover parking and an outdoor entertaining area, which have been sympathetically added.

The house is surrounded by hedges and established gardens and is reticulated by a bore. A very private sanctuary only 10 kilometres from the CBD.

Close to shopping centres, a train station, public and private schools, the airport and main road arteries. But once you enter the property, they could be a million miles away.

'Ashcroft' has only had four owners and was last available to purchase 35 years ago, which is an indication of how pleasant it is to live here.
