TIMELESS BEAUTY ON HAMPTON ROAD

Constructed in 1896, 96 Hampton Road, also known as "Bundi Kudja", has been an iconic piece of Fremantle's colourful history. The historical significance of the home and its current condition makes this property a must see. Features throughout the home such as its wraparound verandahs, ornate fireplaces, high ceilings and jarrah floorboards, are just some aspects that you do not see in the builds of today. The property truly is a magnificent timepiece and must be seen to appreciate both its historical importance and the master craftmanship of a bygone era.

Upon entering this elegant home, you are immediately impressed by the grand entrance and hallway. The large arch mouldings lead you into a generous sitting room on the left and a spacious bedroom on the right. Both rooms offer private access onto the west facing front verandah, with large sash windows and doors that project an abundance of natural light. From here the wide, long hallway takes you through to the additional 4 generous-sized bedrooms, all conveniently located near the bathrooms.

At the rear, the home transforms into a French provincial-style farmhouse. A roomy eat-in kitchen and extensive storage makes it suitable for those with larger families. Beyond, a stately living room, complete with an ornate fireplace opens through double doors to the outside. The surrounding verandahs capture the cooling afternoon sea breeze, with privacy grilles on the south side and are built to heritage standards.

Originally built in the late 1800's for prominent Fremantle cordial manufacturer William Letchford and his family, this limestone, brick, and iron home has been beautifully preserved throughout the years. Later purchased by the government in the 1950s, it served as the Bundi Kudja Maternity Hospital, and today it serves as the home for its loving owners. Adorned with antique fixtures and fittings throughout, the residence also features 13 hand-installed crystal chandeliers that were sourced from French countryside homes.
