Oakwal, Heritage residence in Windsor, Australia.

The sandstone residence features symmetrical Georgian architecture with hammered stone walls, internal cedar joinery, and plaster ceiling roses throughout its structure.

James Cowlishaw designed this residence in 1864 for Chief Justice James Cockle, who paid contractor John Petrie £4,000 for its construction.

The residence draws its name from combining Great Oakley in Essex and Walton in Suffolk, representing the birthplaces of James Cockle and his wife.

Located at 50 Bush Street in Windsor, the property maintains its original beech floors and architectural elements from the nineteenth century.

The Cowlishaw family has maintained ownership of the property since 1888, though portions of the estate have been sold over generations.
