When James Bennell arrived in Launceston from England in 1834, he could not have dreamt that 180 years on 17 of the 20 houses he built would still be standing, truly a testament to the quality tradespeople of the times.
Carver, gilder and architect, James Bennell has long been respected as one of Launceston greatest architects, with his Georgian colonial style properties still in very high demand, and none more so than the row of 6 Bennell Adelaide St townhouses, arguably the most desirable St in Launceston.
It’s hard to comprehend that only 4 years prior to number 23 Adelaide St being built, Tasmania was actually known as Van Diemans land and 4 years later Kings Bridge was opened, truly an integral part of Launceston’s great history.
However, most people when searching for a period home in Launceston have several things on their wish list: Great Street, stunning period example, interesting history, endless charm, large flat block with filtered city views, unspoilt features with a nice spattering of mod cons and all in outstanding condition, an almost impossible list to fill you say!
Well 23 Adelaide St is all this and so much more.
Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 stunning bathrooms, 3 charming living rooms plus an adorable kitchen complete with provincial style brick wall and original wood stove.
Stunning gardens, courtyard and garaging complete what we feel really is the perfect picture.
