Strathfield Gardens in Strathfield, New South Wales, Australia, was previously called Fairholm. It is a building of historical significance and is listed in the NSW Heritage Register.〔NSW Historical Register, “Fairholm’.

It is the oldest surviving house in Strathfield. The property was for many years a private residence. It is now a retirement village. ==Charles and Agnes Muddle==
Charles John Muddle (1834–1903) built Fairholm about 1878. He was born in 1834 in Kent, England. When he was only 4 years old, his parents, Charles and Elizabeth, decided to immigrate to Australia. They arrived in 1838 on the ship ''Woodbridge'', and his father found work in the Customs Department.〔“The Muddle Families. Online reference http://www.muddlefamilies.info/ardingly/10ce.htm#MUDDLEcharles1834_1903 〕 At the age of 20 in 1854, Charles married Agnes Elizabeth Waller at the Presbyterian church in Pitt Street. Agnes was the sister of James Waller, who was an acclaimed vocalist of that time.〔Evening News (Sydney) 28 February 1871, p. 4.

Charles obtained a job in the Colonial Secretary’s Office and later was appointed to the Lands Department, where he worked for 28 years. He became the Deputy Registrar General,〔Australian Town and Country Journal, 2 December 1903.

The family lived in the house for the next 20 years. Agnes died here in 1900, and Charles in 1903.
