As soon as you enter the huge gates with old style coach lamp posts, the pressure of everyday life somehow drifts away. The landmark began in 1881, as a School and accompanying School Masters Cottage that has, over its lifetime, been lovingly and carefully modified to maintain the history, story and heart of the original architecture. An immediate emotional connection to the past, the focal point of the property showcases soaring bespoke cathedral ceilings, rustic recycled timber floors, old school doors with brass handles, iconic chandelier pendants and antique fireplaces.

The original Schoolhouse has been meticulously maintained and converted to a private living zone with old school picture windows and cathedral ceilings, giving a feeling that time has stood still. The School Masters Cottage evokes warmth and character delivering three large scale bedrooms, Cheminees Philippe fireplace, exposed brick walls and white panel windows. The Grand Master Suite unmasks a magnificent dressing room that will have you playing the part of a Hollywood icon. The renovations of the second tier level have been synthesised perfectly to enhance the original charm of the cottages and features a guest residence with makeup room, dressing area, ensuite, living zone and additional two bedrooms and terraces with a view of the river. The gourmet kitchen has been modernised, still in keeping with the era of the home, and compliments the expansive open plan dining and living space. A seamless flow from indoors to outdoors, the farm style wrap around verandah and formal terraced enclosure offer endless possibilities for playing host.
