A Rare Piece of Bolgart History – Art Deco Charm with Endless Opportunity

Formally the Bank of New South Wales, this landmark property has been beautifully preserved and remains the only Art Deco–style building in Bolgart. With its striking frontage and timeless character, it’s not just a home but an important part of the town’s history and streetscape.

Step inside and you’ll find the perfect balance of 1930s charm and modern convenience. Original features such as polished timber floorboards, soaring 10-foot ceilings, sash windows, and an Art Deco-inspired bathroom celebrate the era, while thoughtful updates make the home practical and welcoming for today’s lifestyle. Splashes of vibrant colour throughout the home add warmth and personality, creating cheerful, inviting spaces that truly bring the interiors to life.

Once a thriving bank, the property later became the much-loved Tree’s Café which successfully operated for 20 years. The original bank safe has been cleverly converted into a commercial kitchen, complete with its impressive (and original) 200mm thick safe door and 600mm solid walls. The former banker’s office now provides a private dining space, while the old reception area offers a large open dining room with counter space, verandah access, and customer amenities at the rear. Whether you dream of reviving the café or exploring another venture, the opportunities are endless.

Adding to the appeal, the newly refurbished Bolgart Pub is drawing more visitors into town, boosting local activity and creating a steady stream of tourists and travellers. With multiple bedrooms on offer, this property has fantastic potential for short-stay accommodation or overflow lodging from the pub—a unique way to generate additional income while showcasing the building’s charm.

The residence itself sits proudly on a generous 990m2 corner block with its own private entrance off the side street. A welcoming porch leads you into a wide entry hall, with stairs connecting to the café below—perfect for those who’d love the convenience of living and working in one place. The main lounge features a cosy fireplace, while the spacious kitchen offers ample bench space, storage, and a large oven—ideal for home chefs. 

Accommodation includes three well-sized bedrooms plus a fourth room that could be used as a study or guest bedroom. The family bathroom continues the Art Deco theme with beautiful tiling, separate bath, and shower. Additional features include a formal dining room, several semi-enclosed verandah spaces with café blinds, laundry with separate toilet, built-in storage, evaporative air-conditioning, double carport, garage/workshop, and beautifully established gardens that burst with roses in season.

This truly unique property offers so much more than just a place to call home. Whether you’re seeking your next adventure, dreaming of running your own café or business, or simply looking for a character home with history, heart, and potential, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Bolgart is located just 125km from Perth and 38km to Toodyay and is in the Victoria Plains Shire. 

Additionally, the owners will sell the cafe equipment and some household items at an additional price.
