Overview
52 Lynches Road, Armidale
Presenting the iconic Robertson House, a unique Braenbank blue brick residence of significant heritage value. Originally constructed in 1913 by a renowned cathedral architect as a wedding gift, this remarkable six-bedroom, two-bathroom home features two distinct living areas, blending historical charm with modern luxury.
The home is thoughtfully divided into two self-contained wings, making it perfect for dual family living or multigenerational arrangements, while still providing beautiful communal spaces. Residents can gather in the elegant dining room or unwind by the grand marble woodfire in the formal living area, a stunning centerpiece crafted from rare marble.
Completely renovated to meet contemporary standards, the home retains its antique charm and craftsmanship from the late 19th century. High ceilings, full insulation, and central heating with intelligent sensors ensure comfort year-round, complemented by fully ducted air-conditioning in every zone, including bathrooms. The home is flooded with natural light from large skylights, featuring natural oak flooring, double silk blinds, and comprehensive security systems for peace of mind. Hot water reliability is ensured with both gas and electric systems, and mosquito screens are installed throughout for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The main bedroom suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, an open wood fire, and French doors leading to the rear deck. Additional features include a fully equipped computer room, wall-mounted ironing board, and elegant Egyptian crystal chandeliers. The original main entry retains its antique teardrop pendant, a timeless nod to the home’s origins.
The dining area flows into the kitchen and rear deck, enhanced by expansive skylights that amplify the sense of space and light. The provincial-style kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, including a retro black gloss Smeg fridge and freezer, a five-zone induction Falcon oven, and exquisite Vanilla Noir Caesarstone benchtops. A walk-in pantry adds both elegance and practicality. French doors from the kitchen lead to the rear deck, designed for year-round entertaining with heaters and weather blinds, allowing families to enjoy outdoor culinary experiences.
Set on a fully private one-acre block secured by hardwood fencing and gates, the property is located in the heart of South Hill, yet feels completely secluded amidst lush bushland. The land benefits from its own microclimate, cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Outdoor features include a charcoal wood-fire patio, a fully established fruit and vegetable garden, a 50 cubic metre underground rainwater tank, a 12-zone automatic irrigation system, a built-in composting area, and a large greenhouse.
Additional amenities include a spacious garage, two carports, and a charming heritage-stamped road frontage, completing this once-in-a-lifetime offering. Robertson House is not just a residence; it is a legacy property that harmonizes history, beauty, flexibility, and modern luxury.
