A new life for an old beauty

‘Wahroonga House’ started its life as a grand Interwar home before being converted into a boarding house and later ‘Wahroonga Grammar School’ in the late 1800’s. In the mid to late 1920s it was then converted into flats and around this time was also restyled to the then popular ‘Old English Revival Style’ which it retains to this day. The building in its current form is in need of some TLC.

This significant house in Burns Road is about to undertake a new lease of life. The Tudor layers will be stripped back and the house reborn as an iconic Federation Home within this Heritage Conservation Area.

McCullum Ashby Architects with the assistance of Weir Phillips Heritage have recently obtained DA approval for the proposed works from Council and can’t wait to see work commence on this iconic Wahroonga home.
