80 Barkly Terrace West, Bendigo VIC 3550

Welcome to StrathLachlan, a piece of Bendigo's history carefully preserved since 1858. Nestled in a blue-chip area, this home exudes charm & character, offering a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Scottish Gothic influenced architecture. Constructed for Bendigo's first police Magistrate & designed by architects Vahland & Getzschmann, StrathLachlan stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. Immerse yourself in the charm of yesteryear with cedar skirting boards, doors & architraves throughout. Marvel at the stunning square bay windows that flood the interiors with natural light, creating a warm & inviting atmosphere. The 14-foot high ceilings add a sense of grandeur to each room, while the pressed metal ceiling (one of three) in the main bedroom boasts a unique bas relief face worked into the design. Other features include polished floorboards, stained glass, mantles, claw foot bath, a cellar, tiled verandahs & shady established gardens. Gas heating, a split system & ceiling fan maintain comfort control throughout. Held by the same family for over 40 years, StrathLachlan has been a cherished home, a haven of memories waiting to embrace its next fortunate owner. Set on an expansive 1674 m2 (approx) allotment with two street frontages, the property offers ample space for potential extensions (STCA). Within walking distance to schools, shops, cafes & restaurants, Rosalind Park, theatres, sporting facilities & The Bendigo Hospital, this is a rare chance to own a property that combines historic charm with the potential to further transform. The incredible old-world design coupled with the highly sought after location makes StrathLachlan a unique opportunity that cannot be missed. NB: 80 is the street number however 88 is the registered address.

The property also has the potential for subdivision (STCA) onto Moore Street. The proposed allotment would offer stunning panoramic views over the Bendigo city skyline. It would be a fantastic site for a double storey property & likely one of the last opportunities to obtain a parcel of land with amazing views in such a prestigious location.
