Rich in provenance and architectural character, “The Stables” is a rare surviving remnant of Hobart’s grand 19th-century estates.
Originally the coach house and working stables to the circa 1870 mansion “Addlestone,” home of Charles Grant (1831–1901), this unique building forms part of Tasmania’s early civic story. Grant was a railway engineer, businessman and Government Minister, as well as Tasmania’s delegate to the Australian Federal Convention. His business interests spanned railways, mining and the iconic Cascade Brewery, and the suburb of Granton honours his contribution to the state.
Within these walls, horses were stabled, carriages housed and saddlery kept in what is now the home’s welcoming entrance. Placed on its own title in 1922, “The Stables” has since evolved from equestrian outbuilding to local corner shop, consulting rooms and private residence, with each era adding to its rich narrative. Today it is recognised as a Victorian Free Gothic residence of heritage significance.
The home enjoys an enviable lifestyle position, within short walking distance of Hobart’s CBD, the Royal Hobart Hospital, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, Queens Domain, the Hobart Aquatic Centre and nearby sporting facilities, placing everyday convenience alongside historic grandeur.
To own “The Stables” is to become custodian of a landmark property, a tangible link to Tasmania’s formative years, beautifully preserved within one of Hobart’s most tightly held heritage precincts. With off-street parking and a flexible floor plan, this property provides the ideal blend of space, convenience, and lifestyle.
Designed for versatility, the home features up to four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multiple living areas, making it suitable for families, professionals, or investors. The sun-drenched 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. Corner location offers two entrances for those wanting to work from home with a separate entry for clients.
Modern comforts include a 90cm Smeg gas stove and reverse-cycle heating and cooling, ensuring year-round comfort. Timber plantation shutters throughout adds timeless elegance and privacy. The combination of generous living spaces and an attractive location makes this an exceptional inner city home.
