A Landmark Residence of Heritage, Craftsmanship & Timeless Elegance
An enduring icon of Cowra's architectural landscape, Hart House is one of the region's most admired and significant residences.
Built circa 1927 by local identity Henry Hart and designed by noted architect J.E. Lundholm, this double-brick residence represents one of the finest examples of Arts and Crafts architecture in the district.
Behind its commanding façade, the home reveals layers of history, from the handcrafted Queensland maple staircase to original leadlight cabinetry and ornate plasterwork in the formal rooms. Every element was crafted to serve both aesthetic and practical purpose, with double-brick construction and natural insulation ensuring enduring comfort and craftsmanship.
Across two expansive levels, the home offers five bedrooms (three with ensuites), formal drawing and dining Rooms, a sunroom and study. These spaces are enriched with heritage details, handcrafted maple joinery, leadlight cabinetry, and original Bakelite switches, balanced with modern comforts including updated lighting and renovated bathrooms that thoughtfully blend original tiles with functional updates.
Outdoors, the rare half-acre grounds have been transformed into a private sanctuary, offering multiple garden rooms for entertaining, relaxation, and family living. From the formal rose-lined front garden and Portuguese fountain courtyard to the pergola-shaded entertaining terrace and elevated pool deck with sweeping Lachlan Valley views, each space is designed for both beauty and function. Established citrus, olive and stone fruit trees are woven among structured beds of flowering perennials, bringing colour, shade and seasonal interest throughout the year. This is a substantial town-centre holding that offers generous space, privacy, and lifestyle appeal, all within walking distance to Cowra's shops, cafés and services.
With nearly a century of provenance recorded by the Cowra Historical Society, Hart House is more than a residence, it is a living landmark, lovingly restored and awaiting its next custodian.
