SOME of the grand rooms in this Fremantle home are like a scene out of Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon.
The ornate furniture, chandeliers and gilded mirrors really whisk you back to the Georgian era, and you would feel like aristocracy living in this five bedroom two bathroom beauty.
Painstakingly restored and renovated to heritage guidelines, it’s got all the mod cons wrapped inside a vintage bow.
The “Wow” factor starts at the entrance with a sweeping stone staircase and gorgeous courtyard decorated with statues.
The facade is beautiful and includes a vintage verandah adorned with golden cane palms and potted plants.
The inside is just as stunning with period features at every turn including vintage fireplaces, architraves, ceiling roses, jarrah floorboards and lots and lots of chandeliers – 13 in total (you might need to buy some new feather dusters).
Recent additions include two stunning Carrera marble fireplace mantels from Milan, two French provincial-style bathrooms and a powder room, and a linen room with quarry tile floor.
This limestone, brick and iron home was built in 1896 for William Letchford, a prominent Fremantle cordial manufacturer and his family.
In the 1950s it was purchased by the government and became the Bundi Kudja Maternity Hospital.
A plaque on the front wall recognises the Aboriginal heritage blessing for the home.
The property includes a walk-in cellar, split-system aircon, rear alfresco with shade sail, wide wrap-around verandas and off-street parking for six cars
Situated on a 784sqm lot on Hampton Road, it’s a short walk to all the shops and cafes on Wray Avenue.
Or take a two-minute drive to the South Fremantle café strip, which is packed with fantastic boutiques, cafes and restaurants.
There’s also lots of schools close-by including Fremantle Primary and White Gum Valley Primary.
This is a stunning period home that will have you feeling like a king or queen.
