One of the most beautiful properties in this district The Gables is a circa 1830′s home set on approximately 20 acres. Nestled into the fringe of the rural village of Booral, located down a quiet country lane way. You enter the property, then cross the creek and go past the picnic area to then be greeted by the sight of this magnificent two storey home and its unique gabled roof line. Surrounded by a leafy tree studded garden, the peacefulness and serenity just settles upon you. Renovated throughout, the home is light filled and airy. French doors lead out onto the verandah. Polished timber boards are under foot, the original high pressed metal ceilings are beautiful, open fire places and slow combustion wood fires keep it cosy in winter. There are also rc air con and ceiling fans, huge timber windows letting the outside in. A new easy care and modern kitchen and ever so stylish bathroom with claw foot bath tub. A large workable utility/laundry room. 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 set into the gabled roof line.
