Overview

Benhaven: Secure a piece of Brights History

Nestled in the heart of Bright, 'Benhaven' is one of the town's most historically significant homes. Built in the 1870s, this stunning residence was once home to Edward Delany, after whom Delany Avenue is named, making this a true landmark in our area. The home is a testament to the craftsmanship of its era, and its preservation is a rare find in today's market. Set on a prime 911m² garden filled parcel of land, this charming home enjoys a prominent position fronting Gavan Street, with vehicle access to your double carport from Wood Street. With its incredible amount of street appeal, this home will be known to many locals and visitors alike, all of whom not doubt have admired its striking front façade, including its multicoloured brickwork, centred front door, symmetrical double hung sash windows, twin chimneys and a bull nose verandah, all elements that are characteristic of similar homes from the late 1800s. Upon entering the home, you'll find impressive 12 foot ceilings, four fireplaces, and original detailing throughout, creating a welcoming, warm and inviting atmosphere. The home offers spacious interiors with a central hallway that leads to three generous bedrooms and a comfortable lounge room, the master suite complete with a private ensuite bathroom. The family bathroom, featuring a shower over the bath, preserves the charm of the original design while adding modern convenience for everyday living. The rear of the home was extended in the late 1990's, a thoughtful addition that has created a light filled family lounge and dining area, with high ceilings and four skylights that bring an abundance of natural light into the space. This modern addition seamlessly connects to the kitchen, ensuring a perfect blend of old world charm and contemporary functionality. Step outside and you'll be greeted by a magnificent, mature garden that provides a peaceful oasis with its timeless appeal, lush gardens, incredible amounts of colour and shady spaces for warm summer days. On top of all of these never to be repeated features, we are situated right in the middle of town, less than 150m from Anderson Street. Benhaven is a rare and exceptional offering, one of only a handful of brick buildings in Bright dating back to the late 1800s. Its quality is unquestionable, and the opportunity to secure such a historic home in this prime location is undeniable.
