Anglesey House - The Central West's Late Victorian Jewel

Tucked away behind established hedges in the heart of Forbes' CBD lies one of Australia's most iconic 19th-century mansions - Anglesey House. A masterclass in Late Victorian architecture, this magnificent residence, built in 1884 by esteemed merchant, former mayor William Thomas & local magistrate for two terms, offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of living history.

From the moment you enter the grand front gates, Anglesey House exudes timeless elegance. Set on an expansive 1,714sqm over two titles with rear lane access, this commanding estate boasts striking period features - from soaring ornate ceilings and marble fireplaces to a sweeping cedar staircase that anchors the home in stately charm. The sandstone stables, dating back to the 1860s, further enrich its historical pedigree.

Beyond its architectural splendour, Anglesey House is a truly versatile estate. Zoned for mixed use (STCA), the property offers immense potential - whether as a luxurious private residence, a boutique bed and breakfast, a distinguished venue for weddings and events, or even a unique corporate headquarters. Few properties in regional Australia rival such flexibility paired with heritage significance.

The home itself is generously proportioned across two levels. The first floor features four spacious bedrooms, formal lounge and dining rooms, a well-appointed kitchen, two bathrooms, laundry, a walk-in robe, and a wrap around veranda with multiple access points. Downstairs, you'll find formal dining and living areas, three to four additional bedrooms, two more bathrooms, a storeroom, and a studio with its own entry - ideal for guests or separate office space. Other noteable features include a 10.5kw solar system, and split systems throughout to service the home all year round.

Throughout, period details abound: intricate lacework, wrought iron pillars, and elegant woodwork provide visual delight at every turn, while modern comforts have been seamlessly integrated. Step outside, and you're met with a tranquil, park-like setting complete with lemon-scented gums, fruit trees, and lush grounds that offer a peaceful retreat from the everyday.

Anglesey House is not merely a home - it's a statement of grandeur and legacy. Homes of this calibre, particularly in regional Australia, rarely come to market. We are honoured to present this extraordinary property on behalf of our vendors, and we invite offers from discerning buyers seeking a one-of-a-kind historic estate.
