A simply magical property graced by a magnificent 2,933sqm garden estate, ‘Butleigh Wootton’, built in 1885, brilliantly exhibits the peerless design and exquisite craftsmanship of Victorian-Italianate architecture. 

Originally built for architect and property investor Thomas Maidment, and named after his English birthplace, ‘Butleigh Wootton’ was a private residence until 1910, after which this iconic Kew mansion became an enchanting wedding venue for over a century.

Positioned in the heart of Kew’s affluent private school district, with enviable access to lifestyle amenities including transport, shopping, cafés, and parklands, today the home offers a multitude of possibilities for residential or commercial use.

With captivating garden surrounds and an impressive bay-window façade, the grand interiors are centred around a breathtaking hand-crafted staircase, spiraling beneath a soaring 10m domed ceiling. 

Towering 4.3m (approx) ceilings are adorned with intricate cornicing and dazzling chandeliers, complementing the well-proportioned rooms. The home's Victorian heritage is highlighted with plaster carvings, picture rails, elaborate fireplaces, and exquisite drapery.

The flexible floor plan offers a multitude of options, consisting of majestic formal rooms including a lavish ballroom dance floor, complemented by a commercial-grade kitchen and fully-fitted function bar,  cool rooms and bathroom facilities.  

Upstairs, an array of seven extravagant rooms plus two classically-styled bathrooms delivers outstanding possibilities of use from bedrooms to private function rooms, while the bluestone basement offers copious storage.

With private access to Gordon Avenue, and peaceful alfresco areas dedicated to relaxation and enjoyment, this renowned property may be enjoyed as an impressive family residence or maintained as a commercial space.
