On the 8th August 1888 Charles Roberts acquired from Joshua Bray one of Murwillumbah’s iconic properties.
15 Tumbulgum Road is located on the higher end of Tumbulgum Road and is only a short walk to the town’s centre. The block consists of 1233m2 on title and there is plenty of room for vehicle parking, vans and trailers. There are 5 garage spaces and additional workshop and or recreational areas.
The hardwood constructed house was raised in 1993 onto a base of bricks and steel, giving it outstanding views of the river from the master bedroom, verandah and where the present owners have established their dining area. In the most recent rain event (2017) no water entered the building.
The house consists of 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has views of the river, built-in wardrobe and inverter air-conditioner. The 2nd bedroom features French doors onto the verandah and the 3rd bedroom has it’s own entrance.
The kitchen has a country style timber theme, with Tassie oak doors and generous fridge space. The bathroom is large and modern with natural light from a skylight.

The house has a warm homely feel with natural timber panelling and fret work timber arches in the hall and lounge. The lounge is spacious with casement windows to catch the river breezes and inverter air-conditioning unit. Fresh new carpets have been laid in the 2 main bedrooms, hall and lounge, while the third has newly laid cypress pine flooring.
The river side of Tumbulgum Road is becoming a very desirable location, possibly a view shared by Charles Roberts in 1888.
