A unique landmark of Northam, an imposing single storey residence built in the Federation Free Style in 1902 for Lionel Throssell, a former Mayor of Northam, listed on the register of Heritage Places and classified by the National Trust is offered to the public for sale.

Set back from the street alignment on 9 693m2 of elevated ground this grand home with a corner bay window is oriented to take advantage of extensive Northerly views overlooking the town. Formal boundary gates and a long approach to the house across bitumenised circular driveway reveals its large Moreton Bay fig tree and central belvedere crowned tower dominating the entrance which features timber panelled doors with leaded and stained glass and exquisite tuck-pointed red brickwork.

Characteristic of the era room sizes are not compromised, decorative cornices, roses and pendant light fittings adorn the ceilings, hallways showcase archways and richly polished jarrah floor boards and fire places with fancy timber mantels can be found in many of the rooms.

Its generous design allows great flexibility in the use of bedrooms and living rooms. The third and fourth bedrooms with access to an ensuite style bathroom/laundry are presently used as additional rooms for hire when Uralia Cottage Bed & Breakfast, a four roomed self contained apartment on the grounds, is fully booked.

A country kitchen with wood fired stove features a cellar below and an adjoining vestibule with slender French doors for serving afternoon tea on the side verandah.

Uralia is a reminder of the growth in wealth that occurred in Northam in the 1890s.
