19th Century Colonial on Raymond Hill – A Rare Slice of Ipswich History

Price: Offers Over $695,000
Land Size: 1,232 sqm (with opportunity to purchase adjoining vacant block)
Bedrooms: 3 | Bathrooms: 1 | Car Spaces: 2

 

Step back in time with this truly unique 19th-century colonial home, proudly perched on the high point of Raymond Hill. Originally located on North Street opposite the Railway Workshops, the home was relocated by bullock dray to its current elevated site following the 1893 floods — and it has stood proudly ever since, a living tribute to Ipswich’s rich heritage.

Showcasing the craftsmanship of its era, this character-filled home features original 12-inch hand-painted timber boards, three traditional bedrooms off a central hallway, a welcoming living room, and a spacious kitchen/dining area ideal for family gatherings.

To the rear, a large utility space — once used as a photographic darkroom — accompanies the main bathroom. Enclosed verandahs, completed decades ago, have helped preserve the flooring while enhancing internal space. Structural upgrades include a roof replacement, concrete stumps, and an electrical update, all contributing to the home’s lasting integrity.

A fascinating highlight of the property is the original outbuilding, constructed during World War II as a storage facility for the local volunteer fire brigade's uniforms and helmets — a rare historic addition.

Wander through the ancient garden, where century-old plantings create a tranquil, timeworn setting. A double garage offers secure parking, and even the outdoor water closet remains functional — a charming nod to the past.

Bonus Opportunity: The adjoining vacant block is also available, offering a total of 1,088 sqm in a highly sought-after elevated position — just minutes from the CBD, Riverlink Shopping Centre, schools, and major highway access.

Council Rates approx. $519.00 per quarter. Urban Utilities approx. $219.00 per quarter.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and preserve a piece of Ipswich’s living history.

June is a hard working agent and independently sold our home. June was there for all the open times each Saturday and Sunday. There were no substitute agents. The first weekend with her agency, we had a genuine buyer, which she followed up on and resulted in the sale of our home. Such a relief for us, as our home had been listed with another agent since January 2017. Due to her negotiation skills and knowledge of the colonial house market, our lovely character home was sold and we could happily move on. We would recommend highly Walkers’ Principal, June Frank, as an agent who knows the Ipswich property market extremely well.

I cannot recommend June Frank more highly. She is professional, friendly, and efficient. She and her wonderful team offer guidance and support throughout the entire process. Buying or selling... It is easy to see why June Frank is Ipswich's top agent! Thanks June!  

Purchased my first home from June in 1999 and have recently purchased what I expect to be my last, also from June. Contract negotiated and signed within two hours. Diligence, professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process. June's reputation speaks for itself but her actions are far more. She is tenacious in ensuring her clients are looked after throughout the process and her follow-up is second to none. Not only is June an absolute professional who values long term relationships, she is truly committed, and has been for many years, to ensuring Ipswich home buyers receive first class service.  

June is a very trustworthy Agent. She demonstrates this with her excellent communication skills and professional conduct. Although she works for the seller, she still makes the whole process of purchasing a property easy and comfortable.

June was pleasant and easy to work with, always willing to discuss any issues or questions we might have. June was willing to work to with us to gain a market competitive but good price. We would recommend June to anybody who is chasing a professional, knowledgeable and friendly agent who works hard to get the job done and gain the best for her client.

Buying a house through June was a transparent and seamless process. It took a few viewings to make a decision and at each inspection she gave us space and time. She is warm and honest, just what a good agent should be. Highly recommend buying or selling through her!
