Heritage bungalow within Torieview Mansions for sale at $2.8 mil

April 6, 2023

A two-storey bungalow in Torieview Mansions, a freehold apartment complex on Lorong 29 Geylang, will be put up for sale by the auction team of Knight Frank Singapore on April 20. An estate sale, the vacant house has a total floor area of 2,271 sq ft and a guide price of $2.8 million, which translates to $1,233 psf on the floor area.

This three-bedroom, strata-landed house is one of two existing conserved bungalows on the freehold site before the apartment complex was developed. Torieview Mansions, which incorporated the two houses and an eight-storey apartment block, was completed in 1995.

Access to the two bungalows is through a double-volume opening and driveway through the apartment block.

Only a handful of redeveloped sites in Singapore share this melding of conservation buildings and new residential development, and most feature condo developments rather than apartments, says Knight Frank’s executive director of auction and sales Sharon Lee. Redevelopments incorporating conservation buildings include the luxury Grand Duchess at St Patrick’s on St Patrick’s Road, Mountbatten Lights on Mountbatten Road, The Sea View at Amber Road, Draycott Eight at Draycott Park and Klimt Cairnhill on Cairnhill Road. Many of the conserved bungalows were converted into the clubhouse in these projects.

The 28,353 sq ft site at Torieview Mansions is categorised as a “site with conserved buildings” within the Geylang Secondary Settlement by URA. It is also one of several conservation sites in the Geylang Road conservation area, bounded by Sims Way and Paya Lebar Road. A mix of low-rise bungalows and rows of shophouses characterises the architectural heritage of this conservation zone.

When Torieview Mansions was completed in 1995, the geometric design pilaster of the bungalows featured elegant groove lines, moulded capitals and a blend of new and old styles. This has been retained as part of the conservation requirement of the houses.
