8 Gipps Street, Paddington, NSW 2021

A little slice of history in a premier village setting, this Georgian terrace is one of the original sandstone workers’ cottages built almost 200 years ago around 1840. It’s most likely that workers who built Victoria Barracks between Oxford Street and Moore Park Road lived here.

It exudes vivid heritage charm with high vaulted ceilings, timber floorboards and exposed sandstone while boasting a coveted north-to-rear aspect for all-day sunshine. Entertaining is a breeze with the vast indoor/outdoor flow, private leafy courtyard and sleek kitchen. The main bedroom and bathroom are on the ground floor while the loft bedroom offers flexibility.

Wonderfully peaceful and private, it boasts a coveted position footsteps to ‘The Intersection’ where Glenmore Road meets Oxford Street. A true cosmopolitan lifestyle address, stroll down for some of Sydney’s best coffee, boutique shopping, vibrant restaurants and English-style pubs. Enjoy nearby Five Ways, Paddington Reservoir Gardens and Centennial Park and commute to the CBD with ease by hopping a bus or walking 20 minutes down Oxford Street.
