Clarendon House

Clarendon House is situated near the township of Evandale, just 20 minutes from Launceston CBD, and 10 minutes from the Launceston Airport.

An elegant mansion, Clarendon House is recognised as one of the most impressive and best preserved Georgian Regency Houses in Australia. It was built on the banks of the South Esk River in 1838 for James Cox, a wealthy woolgrower merchant and the son of William Cox who pioneered the first road over the Blue Mountains in New South Wales.

Clarendon House has large formal gardens and beautiful parklands, which cover 3.6 hectares (9 acres) and include an avenue of elm trees and more than 1800 well established trees, hedges and historic plants.
