The grounds of 'Wansbrough House' have rarity value as an integral part of the Blandstown Heritage Precinct – a rare, virtually intact example of rural development within the State. Constructed by local builder George Wansbrough in 1859, this residence on a majestic 3,706sqm (approx.) York estate slides on to Bland Brook and comprises of a gorgeous 3 bedroom 1 bathroom main home, a separate 1x1 Settler's Cottage and a similar one-bedroom one-bathroom Studio Cottage – the estate could be utilised as Airbnb-type short-stay accommodation or, as it has previously, a B&B, subject to approvals.
The main house has been upgraded from an original brick cottage, with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on restoring and renovating the property to the highest or heritage standards in more recent times. Beyond a gated driveway, gated gardens and covered front verandah deck, the entry hall separates the formal living and dining rooms, whilst a separate open-plan lounge and meals area with a fireplace and two skylights complements the adjacent kitchen where you will find split-system air-conditioning, a sleek white dishwasher, quality stainless-steel cooking appliances and a walk-in pantry.
Both the master and second bedrooms are large in size and have their own feature fireplaces, whilst an air-conditioned third bedroom – or study – sits on its own off the dining room. A semi-ensuite bathroom off the master and casual-living area boasts a free-standing central claw-foot bathtub, shower, stylish vanity and separate toilet.
Both cottages have split-system air-conditioning and their own private kitchen and bathrooms, with the fully-tiled ensuite off the studio impressively-renovated to include a shower, toilet and vanity. There is also covered alfresco and pergola entertaining in abundance, plus plenty of yard and lawn space for the young ones to roam free.
Completing the extensive list of features here are solid wooden floorboards, feature skirting boards, ceiling fans, solar-power panels, ducted air-conditioning and an outdoor storeroom. There is ample off-street parking space too to accompany over 400sqm of total living area.
With the stunning Blands Brook bubbling past it, this spectacular estate will take your breath away on York's main street. Enjoy a leisurely stroll to the town centre, hotels, food, shopping and more. All of this and more less than 90 minutes from the Perth CBD. The perfect blend of history and lifestyle really does await you here.
