Stratheden’s Cape Dutch architecture is unique in the area and as a consequence the local authority has listed the building to preserve its architectural heritage. Built in 1925, this impressive house boasts nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, five reception rooms and other interior luxury amenities such as a 12-metre indoor swimming pool, gym, steamroom, sauna, a massage/hairdressing/spa, a champagne bar, and a large ballroom. The property is spread over four floors with a leisure complex which includes a cinema on the subterranean level. Outside, there is a drive at the front while the rear boasts an Italian sunken garden, raised garden, water features and a two bedroom cottage for staff. The house occupies almost one acre of land and is one of the largest houses on Bishops Avenue. Following significant water ingress 4D Studio Architects have prepared the design and construction packages to demolish and rebuild the extensive underground complex beneath the sunken garden and to upgrade the mechanical and electrical systems that include air conditioning throughout the house.
