A home of enduring character, thoughtfully reimagined for modern living in one of Bellingen's most coveted locations.
Set along tightly held Briner Street, The Woodbury House is a distinctive Federation residence dating back to circa 1910. Meticulously restored and enhanced by considered architectural design, this remarkable home blends period elegance, contemporary comfort and relaxed hinterland living.
Soaring 10½-foot ceilings, rich Blue Gum timber floors and heritage-inspired finishes celebrate the home's original craftsmanship, while modern enhancements introduce light, space and functionality. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to honour its history while embracing modern family life.
Generous living areas create a warm and inviting atmosphere, flowing effortlessly to covered outdoor entertaining spaces overlooking the magnesium swimming pool and picturesque mountain backdrop. Equally suited to quiet mornings, family gatherings and summer afternoons, the home offers an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
A defining feature is the architect-designed extension by respected local architect Tricia Helyar. Seamlessly integrated with the original residence, it enhances the home's versatility while preserving its Federation character. Five spacious bedrooms, multiple living zones and a practical layout provide flexibility for families, professionals and creatives seeking a generous home within walking distance of town.
Established gardens create a private, leafy sanctuary, with mature trees, magnolia, citrus, mango and native plantings complemented by raised vegetable beds. Approximately 80 established lilly pillies provide additional greenery and privacy. An insulated studio/shed offers exciting potential for creative work, a home business or guest accommodation, subject to council approval (STCA). Extensive under-house storage with secure access and a rainwater tank further enhance the property's practicality.
A Bellingen lifestyle, right at your doorstep
Within walking distance of Bellingen's vibrant town centre, the property enjoys easy access to independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants, schools, parks and river swimming. Enjoy coffee at Bruno's, lunch at Three Blue Ducks or a gathering at Charlie's or the iconic Federal Hotel, all while embracing the welcoming community and relaxed pace of this much-loved regional destination.
Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Bellinger River, the tranquil waters of the Never Never River and The Promised Land, and the rainforest walks and spectacular mountain scenery of World Heritage-listed Dorrigo National Park and the Syndicate Trail.
The coast is also within easy reach, with Hungry Head, North Beach and Mylestom offering surfing, fishing, boating and beach walks. Coffs Harbour Airport, specialist medical facilities and major services are approximately 30 minutes away.

Bellingen continues to attract buyers, creatives and hospitality operators from Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, the Northern Beaches, Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers. Its growing lifestyle, hospitality and wellness offerings, including The Banya Bathhouse, reflect the region's increasing appeal while its community spirit and distinctive character remain at the heart of its identity.
For homeowners and investors alike, Bellingen presents an appealing combination of lifestyle amenity, regional connectivity and long-term potential.
