Woodfordleigh. Live here. Work here.
What if the shortest commute in the Clarence Valley was through your own front door?
A grand character home with a substantial street-access workspace in the heart of Ulmarra.
Woodfordleigh presents an interesting opportunity for a small business owner looking to bring home and work together, without having them feel like the same space.
Direct street access. Dedicated workspace. E1 Local Centre zoning. A grand home behind it all. And the Clarence River across the road.
20 River Street, Ulmarra

Your business at the front. Your home beyond.
Working from home is one thing. Having a space where clients or customers can arrive directly from the street, without walking through your home, is something quite different.
At the front of Woodfordleigh is a large room with its own entrance directly from the verandah.
There’s an adjoining room and wet area too, creating an interesting set-up for someone who wants a more defined separation between business and home.
What could you make of it? That will depend on your business and the relevant approvals, but the bones of an interesting idea are already here.
E1 Local Centre zoning
There’s another reason Woodfordleigh deserves a closer look from someone thinking about combining business and home.
20 River Street is zoned E1 Local Centre.
That zoning adds another layer of versatility for buyers considering business or other future uses.
What is appropriate will depend on the proposed use and applicable planning requirements, so buyers should make their own enquiries with Clarence Valley Council and obtain any required approvals.
We’d rather be clear about that than tell you what you can do here.
The opportunity is to explore what might be possible.
And then there’s the home.
The practical business opportunity is only half the story.
Walk beyond the front workspace and Woodfordleigh opens into a grand, character-filled home.
High ceilings. Polished timber floors. Four bedrooms. Generous living areas. Multiple bathrooms.
Outside, there’s a private rear garden, paved courtyard and established fruit trees.
And out the front, views across to the mighty Clarence River.
You don’t have to choose between having the right space for your work and having a home you actually want to come home to.
Right in the heart of Ulmarra
For some businesses, where you work is part of the experience.
Woodfordleigh sits on River Street in the historic village of Ulmarra, surrounded by the character that makes this little town memorable.
The Clarence River and parkland are directly across the road, along with the local boat ramp.
Cafés, shops and the Ulmarra Hotel are within easy reach.
Grafton is approximately 15 minutes away, with the wider Clarence Valley beyond.
It’s a rather different setting for a working day.
What could work here?
Perhaps you’re a local business owner who has outgrown working from the kitchen table.
Perhaps you’re paying for a separate commercial space and wondering whether there’s another way.
Perhaps you’re relocating to the Clarence Valley and want your next property to work harder for both your business and your life.
Or perhaps you’ve been looking for an older building with character and the flexibility to create something of your own.
We’re deliberately not going to tell you what business should go here.
The more interesting question is whether the space, position and zoning could work for yours.
Any proposed business use is subject to council approval and applicable requirements.
Finish work. Step out onto the verandah.
This is where the proposition gets a little more interesting. At the end of the working day, there’s no drive home. Close the office door. Step onto the verandah. Look across the park to the Clarence. Walk down for a drink at the Ulmarra Hotel. Or disappear into the private garden out the back.
Live here. Work here. Look out over the river.
Could Woodfordleigh work for you?
This is one of those properties that makes more sense when you walk through it.
You can see how the front rooms connect. Understand the separate street access. Get a feel for the scale of the home behind them. And start thinking about how the property might work for your particular business and lifestyle.
If you’ve been looking for a way to bring the two together, it’s worth coming to have a look.
