Overview

"Ashla" A Federation Masterpiece c.1920

In the heart of New Town stands Ashla, a distinguished Federation home that demonstrates elegance and extraordinary craftsmanship. Built c.1920, this grand residence commands attention with its stately façade and expansive 1,078m² allotment. Constructed in solid brick upon sandstone foundations, the exterior showcases refined timber detailing and exquisite leadlight windows hallmarks of its Federation architecture. The impressive entrance hall sets the tone for what lies within, where intricate woodwork, timber fretwork and ornate ceilings combine to create a warm ambience. Light-filled and inviting, the main living room features an elegant fireplace framed by intricate timber work and stained glass windows. A secondary sitting room enjoys striking dual fan-shaped leadlight windows, while the formal dining room provides generous proportions for both entertaining and intimate gatherings. In 2015, a substantial extension was designed by the renowned Philp Lighton Architects to compliment the home's historic character while introducing contemporary liveability. This addition includes a modern kitchen with butler's pantry and a second dining area, seamlessly flowing to the gardens through stacker doors. The inclusion of natural gas ducted heating and an upgrade to the separate laundry and powder room complete the thoughtful enhancements. Upstairs, the accommodation is both flexible and refined. The east-facing master suite, added as part of the extension, enjoys abundant natural light, a generous walk-in robe, and a substantial modern ensuite. The level also offers two additional bedrooms, a study, and an adaptable upper sitting room, with a lined attic space above providing further versatility. Beyond the residence, established gardens frame the property with mature plantings, a water fountain, and productive vegetable beds. The current owners have also taken advantage of the dual street access by adding a remote sliding gate off Bay Road, leading to a double garage and additional off-street parking. A rare offering, "Ashla" is one of New Town's most significant Federation homes a residence of history, grace, and enduring craftsmanship, carefully enhanced for contemporary living while honouring its heritage.
