Presenting this grand Victorian manor house standing on a large block of 1492m2, and enjoying views over Bathurst from the upper floor balcony and bedrooms. It has 5 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a large eat in kitchen. The property has a very wide street frontage, and the house is accessed from either side of the frontage via twin period style remote controlled security gates. The gates are connected by a U shaped driveway which surrounds the house and gives access either to the grand entrance hall or to the informal side entrance and the double garage and an additional 4 or 5 off-street parking spaces. The relatively new garden is formal,has automatic watering system,and lots of growth yet to come.
The house is very unusual in that its architectural style is more Georgian than classical Victorian. For example, there is no wrap around balcony and it’s 8 original rooms, as well as the original kitchen, are all enormous. Note that one of these 8 rooms has now been converted into two bathrooms, a separate toilet, a linen closet, a walk through wardrobe and a small bedroom with a BIR. (Original Victorian mahogany wardrobes in other bedrooms are included in the sale).
The house has recently been completely restored, and is now as it was in 1888 except for the 3.5 added period style bathrooms (2 ensuite), and the updated eat in kitchen which opens on to a conservatory and two separate private courtyards, one paved and sunny, and the other grassed and shaded. Ducted gas heating and ducted reverse cycle inverter air-conditioning have also been installed throughout. Remarkably, the house has retained absolutely all of it’s original features – 12 ft ceilings (3.5mt), cornices, rosettes, floorboards, joinery, blue and ruby stained etched glass, door knobs, security bolts, 7 marble fireplaces, chimney stacks, 3 staircases.
Fairview is a classic example of it’s era. You will feel the nostalgia and a sense of majestic pride as you explore this magnificent salute to history.
