Dating to around 1880, 'Cherub's Glen' is steeped in local history and has been a sanctuary to many families for over 140 years. It is part of the 1835 Original Land Grant attained by Charles Throsby Smith which was later subdivided by his heir C.F. Smith in 1879. 

The house is a significant home as it interprets the history of the local area and is an important element of the streetscape. It is readily identifiable as part of the historical building stock of the central area of Wollongong.

“Each owner has played their part in loving this home as they raised their families,” the current owners told WILLIAMS MEDIA. “In the early days they may have planted a tree, added electricity and plumbing, extended the building, improved a garden area and generally maintained it to make it theirs.”

“In the sixteen years we’ve lived here we have played our part too. We, like all those before us, absolutely adore this house. We have brought it to the twenty first century by modernising with internet access, have strengthened its structural bones, built entertainment areas, an artist studio, recently re-painted the house and so much more all while keeping its integrity and maintaining its historical significance. It is now time for us to pass it onto a new family who will become the next chapter in the history of this house and of Wollongong.”
