Overview

HISTORIC BEECHWORTH COMMON SCHOOL NO. 36 c. 1862

An amazing property providing testimony to Beechworth's rich history and its gold rush origins are displayed at 17 Loch Street with the sale of the former Common School no.36. This solid brick building was designed and built in 1862-1863 on the site of the town's first "National School" from originally built in 1858. Long gone are the students, including the ninth governor-general of Australia, Sir Isaac Isaacs, however the property has stood the test of time and has been meticulously cared for and maintained by its current owners. You cannot help but be drawn to the building's timeless construction including the remarkable timber shingled ceilings. Now an expansive space ideally suited as your living room, it enjoys the comfort of a large wood heater and split system heating and cooling. The whole property has been extensively redecorated internally with highlights accentuating the brick archways above the doorways and windows. You will enjoy the benefit of two separate living areas and two bedrooms – both with split system units. A modern country style kitchen with ample storage looks out onto the timber deck draped by a mature and shady wisteria vine. A beautiful cottage style garden with extensive paving and a large garden shed will attract the indulgent green thumbs. The building's architect, Thomas Dalziel, is notable not only for this grand and enduring construction but also for his contribution to the Town Hall and St Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The property is located within the towns Commercial Zone, so its purpose is not limited to a residential home, but as a prime destination for your viable Beechworth business. Imagine the old schoolhouse operating as a bespoke gallery or the perfect spot for casual or formal dining. The location cannot be beat – right in the heart of Beechworth and close to absolutely everything, including the Town Hall Gardens and shopping precinct. Arrange your private inspection today.
