342 Annandale Street, Annandale NSW 2038

One of Annandale's grandest heritage homes, 'Pen Dinas' stands as a fine example of late Victorian Italianate architecture with manor-like proportions, fine period craftsmanship and an enduring sense of splendour. Built c1893 for William Nichols, a merchant and former ship owner, the two-storey home has enjoyed a tightly held provenance with only ever a handful of families in ownership. Held for 40 years, the four-bedroom residence retains a wealth of refined features from the cedar panelling and ornate plasterwork to the stained glass windows and cast-iron work. Soaring 3.7m ceilings give a dramatic sense of space while marble flagstones line the hallways and grand fireplaces anchor the reception rooms. With all four bedrooms on the upper level and a choice of living areas, the layout is perfect for families. A light-filled extension opens to a leafy courtyard garden.
