"Loombra" - A Distinguished Armidale Landmark
Originally constructed in the late 1800s by Charles Wilson, this home has been beautifully and sympathetically extended and restored to blend period charm with contemporary sophistication. “Loombra” stands as one of Armidale’s most distinguished residences.
Framed by established gardens featuring European trees, on over 1,640 sqm, this blue-brick masterpiece commands attention with its ornate cast-iron fretwork, double bullnose verandah, and turreted façade, a timeless expression of Federation-era craftsmanship.
Inside, soaring 3.6 m ceilings, marble fireplaces, intricate Wunderlich pressed metal ceiling details and the original service bells evoke the home’s historic grandeur. The wide central hallway and formal living spaces exude elegance, complemented by a modern, light-filled extension that brings a seamless connection to family living and entertaining.
At the heart of the home lies a striking navy kitchen, a true showpiece appointed with an ILVE double oven, Miele dishwasher, wine fridge, and walk-in pantry. Flowing seamlessly from this space, the adjoining living room opens through French doors to the western courtyard, a private oasis designed for relaxation and entertaining. Completing the picture of refined elegance, the grand dining room, adorned with its own fireplace and an impressive chandelier, offers a memorable setting for intimate or formal gatherings.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with six bedrooms and four bathrooms across two levels. The luxurious master suite includes a spacious ensuite with underfloor heating and concealed wine storage cellar, while the upper floor features three additional bedrooms all with built in robes, a large bathroom, and separate linen press.
A separate home office for two provides an ideal workspace, while thoughtful design elements, from the breezeway to the pool and ample built-in storage, ensure the home is as functional as it is beautiful.
The outdoor sanctuary centres around a sparkling heated saltwater pool with heat pump, framed by high privacy walls and lush, architectural landscaping. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the space combines elegance and seclusion, with manicured hedges, paved surrounds, additional toilet and inviting alfresco areas that flow seamlessly from the home’s living zones – creating a private resort-style retreat in the heart of Armidale.
