“The Stables” – A Rare Chapter of Hobart’s Grandest Story

Rich in historical significance and architectural charm, this property known as “The Stables” is a unique remnant of Hobart’s grand 19th-century estates. Originally serving as the coach house and working stables for the circa 1870 mansion “Addlestone,” it was the home of Charles Grant, a notable figure in Tasmania’s history who was a railway engineer, businessman, government minister, and delegate to the Australian Federal Convention. His diverse business interests included railways, mining, and the Cascade Brewery, with the suburb of Granton named in his honor.

The building’s original purpose was to stable horses, house carriages, and store saddlery, now transformed into a welcoming entrance of the home. Since being placed on its own title in 1922, “The Stables” has evolved through various uses including a local corner shop, consulting rooms, and private residence, each adding layers to its rich narrative. Today, it is recognized as a Victorian Free Gothic residence of heritage significance.

Located in a highly desirable lifestyle position, the home is within walking distance to Hobart’s central business district, the Royal Hobart Hospital, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, Queens Domain, the Hobart Aquatic Centre, and nearby sporting facilities. This location offers a blend of everyday convenience and historic grandeur.

Owning this property means becoming the custodian of a landmark that connects to Tasmania’s formative years, beautifully preserved within one of Hobart’s most tightly held heritage precincts. The property includes off-street parking and a flexible floorplan, providing an ideal combination of space, convenience, and lifestyle.

Designed for versatility, the home features up to four bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with multiple living areas, making it suitable for families, professionals, or investors. The sunlit dining and lounge areas open onto a charming terrace through elegant French doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow with scenic views of Mount Wellington and the city skyline.
