Baddow House is one of Queensland’s finest heritage homes. Built in 1883 for Edgar Thomas Aldridge, the founding father of Maryborough, this beautiful home, with a total of 896 sqm under roof, is set on two acres of landscaped gardens overlooking the Mary River.

As well as providing a fantastic lifestyle, this imposing two-storey Victorian villa has the potential to become an income earning property, either through bed and breakfast, or as a conference and event venue. Current council approval includes a food license.

Imagine wedding receptions or high teas held amid the splendour of this home and garden, or conference groups coming together in the relaxed and gracious atmosphere.

The hard work is already done, all it needs is some entrepreneurial input!

In 2003 the current owners purchased the property and spent many years lovingly restoring the home to its original grandeur, winning several awards in the process.

Accommodation includes six bedrooms, three bathrooms, two sitting rooms, huge dining room, library, office, superb country kitchen, scullery, wide entrance hall and sunny upstairs landing. The floors are crow’s ash and hoop pine, and all of the joinery, including the original staircase, is red cedar. Six fireplaces, internal archways, stained glass and six large bay windows complete the picture.

A separate studio (28 square metres) stands in the garden, with power and plumbing connections, ideal for conversion to a guest cottage.
