44 Templar Street Forbes, NSW 2871

Tucked away behind established hedges in the very heart of Forbes' CBD lies one of Australia's most iconic 19th-century residences - Anglesey House. A masterclass in Late Victorian architecture, this landmark estate was built in 1884 by esteemed merchant, magistrate, and former mayor William Thomas. With its grand proportions and impeccable provenance, Anglesey House offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of living Australian history.

From the moment you step through the stately front gates, the home radiates timeless elegance. Set across 1,714sqm on two separate titles with convenient rear lane access, this commanding estate showcases stunning period features - from soaring ornate ceilings and marble fireplaces, to a sweeping cedar staircase that anchors the home in stately charm. Adding to its historical significance, the original sandstone stables, dating to the 1860s, remain beautifully intact.

Beyond its architectural grandeur, Anglesey House is a truly versatile property. Zoned for mixed use (STCA), it presents boundless potential: as a luxurious private residence, a boutique B&B, an elegant wedding and event venue, or a distinctive corporate headquarters. Very few properties in regional Australia offer such flexibility, scale, and heritage prestige in one remarkable package.

• Formal lounge and dining rooms on both levels
• Wraparound veranda with multiple access points

Inside and out, period craftsmanship abounds: intricate lacework, wrought iron pillars, and hand-finished timberwork provide visual delight at every turn. Yet, the integration of modern amenities ensures a lifestyle of comfort without compromise.

An Enduring Legacy, Anglesey House is not merely a home - it is a statement of grandeur, history, and potential. Whether you're a discerning homeowner, an entrepreneur with a vision, or a collector of architectural heritage, this is an opportunity that comes along once in a generation.
