Without a doubt one of Gulgong’s finest homes, this landmark property etched into local history has been lovingly cared for & improved over the years to a standard way beyond the wildest dreams of the original owners.
Constructed in 1885 & originally the stables complex for the Cobb & Co coach line, ‘The Stables’ in recent years has been operating as a renowned 4 star Bed & Breakfast situated only metres from the historical main street of Gulgong with its country pubs, restaurants & original architecture.
The presentation & level of restoration to the property is a credit to the owners & offers all the features one would expect from a grand home of this era. Timber flooring, timber ceilings, wide bull nose verandahs, original fireplaces, central hallway & quality joinery, while the working areas of the home such as the bathrooms & kitchen have been sympathetically moved into the 21st century without jeopardizing the homes original charm & character.
Comprising 3 full size bedrooms centrally located to the dual bathroom with a 4th ensuite bedroom or garden view room gaining access from its own timber verandah. The formal lounge area offers dual fireplaces while the well appointed kitchen, dining & informal living areas have a commanding view over the pool area. Year round comfort is assured with ducted air conditioning & the ambience of the open fire places throughout the home are a step back in time to a slower paced lifestyle.
Separate to the main home is the original stables building which has been transformed into a fully self contained 2 bedroom apartment with large attic area, air conditioning, new kitchen & living areas & like the main home is an absolute delight to inspect. The property also offers rear street access & parking.
If the home is impressive, the yards & pool area can only be described as resort standard. Cottage style gardens with established trees & vines, water features & plenty of colour plus an outstanding pool & outdoor entertaining area with 7 person spa & 2 person sauna. This property is truly the complete package.
Being offered as real estate only, with furniture items & forward accommodation bookings available by negotiation, ‘The Stables’ is indeed a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of history & a property one would be proud to call home.
