Woodlands, Ashgrove, Heritage residence in Ashgrove, Australia.

Woodlands is a single-story timber residence in Ashgrove featuring six main rooms, high ceilings, and intricate cedar joinery throughout the interior. The property sits among mature trees such as weeping figs, silky oaks, and jacarandas that frame the main building.

James Clarke bought 30 acres here in 1868 and called it Clarke's Farm; from at least 1882 he and William Reinhold prospected for gold on it. In 1883 the land passed to William Widdop, who agreed to sell it to John Henry Pepper if no payable gold was found; a legal dispute over that agreement was settled in Pepper's favour in 1886. Pepper sold to Charles Plant in 1889, and in 1933 architects Addison and MacDonald added an Art Deco room to the south-east corner.

The residence reflects how affluent Brisbane residents of the 1880s chose to live and build their homes with specific architectural tastes. The spacious rooms and carefully planted mature trees show the lifestyle and priorities of people from that era.

The house is located on Woodland Street and surrounded by garden trees that provide shade and define the setting. Visitors will find the mature vegetation creates natural screening and contributes to the sense of being in an established neighborhood.

The decorative wrought iron fence, gates and matching tree guards along Woodland Street were erected by Charles Plant and survive from his time; they are made of Lowmoor iron and marked "Baleys Patent Albion". The privet hedge along the front fence dates from at least the 1920s.
