The country tradition can continue with this classic Australian homestead built in 1916 of double brick and the bricks were made from clay from the Delegate River.
Over the past few years the five double bedroom homestead (approx 50 squares) has been restored to include the modern conveniences of the 21′ century whilst recapturing the grandeur of the early Victorian era. The house has high ceilings, Victorian fireplaces and kauri pine polished floors throughout. The Tasmanian oak kitchen has ample bench-tops and cupboards for storage and there is an Aga stove, an electric/gas St George oven, dishwasher and a large pantry with servery. The master bedroom has a bay window and the en-suite is complete with claw-foot bath and a leadlight french door. The family room has an open fireplace and was known as the ballroom/billiard room in bygone days. The formal lounge with a bay window centred between side windows has a French door leading out onto the verandah. The family bathroom is tiled with marble tiles. There is a formal dining room, a study/living room and a library. Next to the house is a building suitable for a garden room/granny flat. Although the property now consists of just over 10 acres (four hectares) the garden has in-ground irrigation and there is a magnificent 80 year old Magnolia grandiflora that fills the air on a summer evening with its heady lemon scented perfume and a gnarled old holly tree on the lawn is encircled with colourful David Austin roses. A circular driveway in front of the house is dotted trees and there are many specimen trees that have been planted in recent years. The paved outdoor entertaining area is nestled between two wings of the house. This beautiful homestead exudes warmth and charm and is an ideal country retreat/quality private family home set in a picturesque garden. It is also ideally suited as a boutique country guest house/conference centre/art gallery or horticultural/viticulture enterprise with its excellent water facilities.
