Catriona Pollard - Wednesday, March 24, 2010
Maitland heritage listed property, Mansfield House, an original Commercial Bank of Sydney building circa 1887 will be auctioned online by soldonline.com.au.

The Mansfield House property will be marketed by Glenn Carroll of Harcourts Hunterwide to potential buyers using an online auction campaign with bidding starting on 8 April and ending on 22 April. 

Mansfield House is an elegant three storey building with both private living quarters and unique function centre facilities. Upstairs has six master size bedrooms, marble fireplaces, a drawing room, marble bathrooms and a modern kitchen. 

The function centre is set up with a commercial kitchen and cool room and is ideal for hosting private functions, wedding receptions and formal dinners. The centre includes a formal dining room and ballroom. 

Real Estate agent of Harcourts Hunterwide, Glenn Carroll said, “This elegant and grand property gives prospective buyers the chance to own the premier property not only in Maitland but of the greater Hunter Valley region.”

“Mansfield House has been tastefully restored to its former glory by current owners and is an exceptional piece of architecture and a chance to own a piece of history.”

“The property has amazing facilities and offers endless possibilities. It will appeal to buyers with a love of history, who are savvy entrepreneurs, or are looking for a lifestyle change.”

“The current owners, Barbara and John Murphy have run a successful catering business from Mansfield House, but feel it is time to move on and hand the property over to a new owner who will make the most of the property’s potential.”

“Mansfield House is a unique opportunity and will appeal to wide variety of people both within and outside the local area. We have decided to use soldonline.com.au, the online bidding system to allow for a greater range of bidders who can register and bid from wherever they are 24/7.”
