C1850 two storey homestead held by the current owners for over 50 years, this has been a wonderful family home. Fantastic location, only 3km from the historic township of Evandale, 5km from the airport and 20km from the City of Launceston.
Privately situated amid 2ha of gardens (which include a fish pond, tennis court and wonderful European trees and shrubs) is this beautiful hidden treasure with original slate roof.
Originally built by one of Launceston’s early businessmen, John Gleadow, the solid brick homestead comprises four bedrooms of double size proportions, two bathrooms, an ensuite, spacious formal drawing room with a superb bay window, country-style kitchen, separate dining room, large sunroom and breakfast room.
A separate double garage and workshop (brick construction) is set amid the manicured gardens which are framed by Hawthorn hedges and hand-made stone walls.
An extensive original brick stable complex is set in a quadrangle enclosing the original working yard and well. This substantial complex (46m x 33m) is fully roofed by a freestanding steel framed structure adjoining the original coach house and modern office, keeping these buildings in fantastic order.
The original brick chapel/Sunday school is hidden by Hawthorn hedges adjacent to the stable complex.
The very productive land is currently used for grazing cattle and sheep, but can also be cropped if desired. This area is also suitable for viticulture or horticulture development.
Other features include Town water connected to the homestead and troughs throughout the farm, 3 phase power and original weighbridge.
Property will be Auctioned later in Spring, if not sold prior, early inspection invited by appointment.
