We are proud to present an exciting opportunity to own a piece of Bathurst’s history. This solid, red brick 1930’s era residence is supremely located in a highly desirable, and tightly held location in William Street. Offered for the first time in half a century, seldom does a home in a location of such significance enter the market.
Located in Bathurst’s very first precinct and set on the site of the original 1825 Government Stables, less than 100 metres from the original flag staff proclaiming the town of Bathurst, this is an opportunity not to be taken lightly.
The current home is a true delight to inspect. Featuring three very large bedrooms, two comfortable living spaces, covered alfresco entertaining, a fantastic rear yard with established gardens, and a lovely front verandah to take in uninterrupted views of the Macquarie River Bicentennial Park and Peace Garden.
Further property features include:
- Stoic curb appeal, with a commanding red brick façade. The lovely front garden includes a thoughtful ramp leading to the home
- A deep, covered front veranda sits to one side, and on the other, an enclosed front sunroom, lovingly called the ‘flower house’
- Leaded stained-glass casement windows featuring intricate designs adorn the front of the home. The antique style timber front door features 15 cathedral glass panels and sidelights, leading into a welcoming entry hall
- There are three very generous bedrooms, the second featuring a large mirrored built in robe, while the main features a beautiful ornamental fireplace and enjoys lovely natural sunlight
- Off the main bedroom is a lovely office, nursery or sunroom
- The lounge is centrally located, and is an inviting, intimate space that can be closed off to enjoy cosy nights in. On display is another charming ornamental fireplace and mantle

- The internal laundry is very spacious, with good storage
- A sunny living/dining room is located at the rear of the home, includes useful storage cupboards and is bathed in natural light, warming the space in winter, with clever retractable outdoor blinds to keep the home cool in summer

- All set on an easy to maintain 588m2 block
Built in a time when quality construction and craftsmanship were paramount, this home is as solid as a rock and is in impeccable, original condition. Ideal for those who want to be in the heart of town, while at the same time enjoy the peace and quiet this serene location evokes.
With unmatched access to the CBD, cafes, restaurants, Manning Aquatic Centre, Ohkuma Japanese Gardens, and the Macquarie River with scenic parks, bridges and walkways, this perfectly appointed home will suit an array of astute buyers.
