‘Nelson Lodge’ (aka ‘Milford Haven’) is a State Heritage listed Georgian-style sandstone residence of local significance on a generous 1,373sqm parcel of land. It was constructed in 1858 for the publicans at that time of Sydney’s now oldest surviving hotel, the iconic Lord Nelson in The Rocks, and has been sold only a handful of times in in its 165-year history. Architectural details displayed throughout ‘Nelson Lodge’ are indicative of the mid-1880s in Australia, with a classic colour palette throughout, original period details and rare scope to further restore and renovate to suit a modern lifestyle. Featuring multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, the property is just a short walk to the Cooks River parklands, near Tempe Public School and 450m from Tempe station.

‘Nelson Lodge’ has come a long way since its days as a “luxury farmhouse” but remains an exceptionally rare and unique opportunity for buyers with a view to creating something magical whilst retaining the integrity of the past for future generations to admire.
