Landmark 1876 Residence - History, Architecture and Extraordinary Space
Some homes are defined by their location. Others by their architecture. 46 Bank Street offers both, together with a history, scale and flexibility that could never be recreated.
Officially opened in 1876 and designed by the Mansfield Brothers for the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney, this magnificent Italianate former bank has been transformed into an extraordinary private residence in the heart of historic Molong, approximately 25 minutes from Orange.
Behind its imposing facade and cast-iron lacework balconies lies a home of remarkable proportions, with ceilings reaching approximately 4.5 metres, arched windows, ornate cornices, seven fireplaces and expansive rooms that retain the architectural presence of the original bank.
Set on approximately 2,023 sqm, the property combines the substantial two-storey residence with fully fenced lawns, established trees, restored two-storey brick stables and a collection of additional buildings creating a property with exceptional scope for living, working and creative pursuits.
A Home of Extraordinary Scale
The former banking chambers form the heart of the ground floor, where soaring ceilings and generous proportions create impressive open-plan living, dining and entertaining spaces. The original bank vault remains an extraordinary feature and a reminder of the buildings remarkable history.
Upstairs, the scale becomes more intimate. Currently configured with four bedrooms plus an office, the upper level also incorporates an eat-in kitchen and two balconies with elevated views across Molong and towards the surrounding countryside.
The size and configuration of the building allow its spaces to evolve with different stages of life as a substantial family residence, a home with dedicated studios or offices, or a combination of private living and commercial space.
One Property, Many Possibilities
What distinguishes 46 Bank Street is not simply its size, but its flexibility.
With both residential and commercial zoning, the property offers unusual scope for
buyers seeking a significant home with room to work, create or establish business
activities from the same address.
A wide covered verandah extends across approximately 12 metres of the Bank Street frontage, providing a sheltered private entry or outdoor hospitality and retail opportunities linking the building and streetscape.
The scale of the main residence allows private living areas to remain separate from work or commercial activities while the additional buildings provide further options without compromising the character or privacy of the home.
For an artist, designer, architect, consultant, collector, entrepreneur or anyone simply looking for more space, the property offers the freedom to create a way of living that is difficult to achieve in a conventional residence.
Grounds, Stables and Additional Space
Beyond the main residence, substantial fully fenced lawns and established trees create a private open setting connecting the house with the propertys additional buildings.
The restored two-storey brick stables provide valuable additional space for studios, offices, accommodation or other pursuits. A separate 81sqm freestanding building offers further flexibility as a showroom, hospitality venue, light manufacturing enterprise, flexible workspace or substantial storage area.
Three-phase power is connected to the main house, stables and the 81sqm building.
The property also includes an additional storage shed and a former change room building containing two bathrooms.
Formal entry is from Bank Street, while separate large-vehicle access from Bundella Close at the rear provides practical access to the grounds and outbuildings.
Country Living Within Easy Reach of Orange
Approximately 25 minutes from Orange, Molong offers the character and pace of a historic Central West town while keeping the restaurants, wineries, schools, health services, shopping and regional connections of Orange within easy reach.
46 Bank Street is more than a heritage house. It is a substantial and adaptable property where architecture, history and contemporary life can coexist. After 150 years, this landmark building is ready for its next chapter as an extraordinary home, a place to live and create, or a residence that brings life and work together within one remarkable property.
