96 John St, Rosewood, QLD, 4340

Glendalough Circa 1910 The year was 1910 when Thomas and Mary Bulcock, respected local store owners, secured 1.25 acres on what remains one of Rosewood's most prominent intersections. Their vision gave rise to Glendalough - a residence of elegance, stature, and enduring distinction. Originally constructed as a six-room dwelling with grand proportions, the Bulcocks later commissioned significant extensions to both the northern and southern wings. Their intention was clear - to create a home that would stand proudly apart from its neighbours - and they unquestionably succeeded. Today, Glendalough stands as a celebrated landmark, recognised with multiple prestigious Heritage awards and proudly holding Queensland State Heritage status. A Home of Character & Grandeur - from the gabled portico crowning the front staircase to the impressive central hallway, Glendalough exudes timeless refinement. To the right of the entry lies a versatile formal room - ideal as a lounge or distinguished study - leading to the remarkable octagonal master bedroom, a truly unique architectural feature. On the southern side of the formal living areas sits the expansive former billiard room, now serving as a grand library, complete with bay windows, window seats, and ornate timber rails.
