Oaklands' circa 1880 1890.
This local landmark is being offered to the market for the first time in over 100 years & has to be sold to allow the previous Owners estate to be finalised. The property is on 2 lots & totals approx. 3.5 acres of land just minutes from the CBD of Ipswich. There is the potential, subject to approvals, to perhaps generate a second block from the allotment.
The home originally belonged to the Wright Family, prominent members in the Colliery business. In the early 1900's there was a transaction recorded showing they sold it to one of their staff member's, however it has not been made available since, for the home has passed through many generations of that employee's family.
Sitting with properties either side that were also part of the Wright Family Estate, Oaklands' is without doubt the grandest of the 3. It has a symmetrical, grand faade. It has a decorative timber bargeboard & unusually large finial to its centre frontispiece & corbelled chimney's either side of the main roof. Its verandas have been enclosed using panelled coloured glass, which the Executor of the Estate believes to be original. The front plantings retain some reference to the traditional plan, with garden beds either side of the front entry path.
Other features include:
* Generous bedrooms, the front 2 with bay windows
* Fireplace in master bedroom & living room
* Extension added to the rear in the 1970's to generate substantial dining room
* Numerous outbuildings in state of disrepair
* Property of significant local historical relevance
* The Estate is genuine in their intent to have this SOLD
* Information Memorandum available upon request
The Executor of the estate has issued simple instructions, We need this SOLD to finalise the affairs & allow everyone to move on with closure. So your enquiry & inspection is encouraged.
