Teringa is undoubtedly one of Armidale’s finest town residences. Built in 1889 by the well known pastoralist George Dight, it was designed as a grand and gracious family home of considerable proportions. There are precious few properties remaining in Armidale today that could lay an equivalent claim to such historical significance, architectural distinction and period perfect condition. In fact, the restoration of this property has been carried out to such a high standard that it would be difficult to find a better example anywhere.

The home is situated on a 1,707 m2 block in a dress circle, South Hill location. It has been crafted in a late Victorian style with full brick construction and featuring beautiful Armidale blues and wonderfully detailed hard wood joinery. Originally, the home was designed to incorporate 7 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 dressing rooms, a study, drawing room, dining room and kitchen. Quite a mansion for the time!

Today Teringa offers a superb blend of classic period features with the comfort and convenience of a modern home. Marble fire places, cedar joinery, beautiful polished floor boards and so on co-exist perfectly with a central heating system, designer bathrooms and an epic, state of the art kitchen.

The interior decor of the home is sublime with a combination of the finest quality fabrics, wall papers and floor coverings. Every room tells a different story with subtle changes in palette and texture. The immediate impression is one of substance leading to a sense of grace, style and charm.

In terms of accommodation, the downstairs section offers a drawing room, study, sitting room, dining room, kitchen with adjacent living area, a bathroom and a laundry. Whilst upstairs there is master bedroom with en-suite, 3 other very large bedrooms, a study, family bathroom and laundry.

The property has been substantially landscaped and incorporates extensive brick paving, formal hedges, mature trees and specimen plants. An outdoor alfresco area, double garage with auto doors and an enclosed lawn provide the perfect setting for this magnificent home.

There will never be another Teringa. This may be the only opportunity you will ever get to be part of its history. Carpe Diem!
