Woodlands, Heritage house in New South Wales, Australia

Woodlands is a two-storey Victorian Georgian villa with an attic at 1 Werona Avenue, Killara, designed by Henry Austin Wilshire and built from 1884. Under Andrew J. Sievers it was remodelled and extended in the Federation Filigree style, and it was likely renamed Woodlands then. Mature palm trees still mark its former entry on Treatts Road.

Woodlands was built from 1884 for Edward Allyn Braham, a Sydney gentleman's outfitter, on 1.88 hectares bought that October for A£500 within Henry Oliver's 1821 grant. Andrew J. Sievers, back from a post at the Swedish and Norwegian consulate, remodelled the Georgian villa in Federation Filigree style from 1895 and probably gave it the name Woodlands. It joined the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 13 October 2006.

The house was called Inglewood when the Cope family rented it from 1891 to 1894; Ethel Turner wrote Seven Little Australians (1893) there, drawing on the surrounding bushland. It was probably renamed Woodlands under Andrew J. Sievers, who remodelled it in Federation Filigree style after serving as acting Swedish and Norwegian consul in 1887.

Woodlands is a privately owned residence and cannot be visited inside. The house stands at 1 Werona Avenue, Killara, and is best seen from the public street; mature palm trees on Treatts Road still mark the estate's former formal entry, which was cut off when the southern lot was sold in 1952.

Mature palm trees on Treatts Road still mark the former formal entry to Woodlands; the address moved to Killara after a red brick house was built on the southern lot sold in 1952, cutting the estate off from that road.
