A heritage-listed residence, 'Anglewood' was built in 1890 by the Hon. Arthur Bruce Smith K.C., MHR., as a country retreat. It is a rare and intact example in Australia of a style of architecture more often seen in the UK in country mansions and large town houses of the late 19th century. Restorations carried out in 2002 returned 'Anglewood' to its former residential grandeur.
A magnificent estate in prestigious blue-ribbon location.
