Constructed in 1875, “Ranelagh” is one of Dubbo’s finest examples of 19th century architecture. Set on the edge of town amidst seeping lawns and established gardens, this grand home offers you a variety of options when it comes to its use. Prior to 2004, this expansive six bedroom home was used for a private dwelling and then converted into a magnificent bed and breakfast and conference facility. The generous rooms, four bathrooms and exquisite period features ensure a nostalgic and memorable stay for all who visit. At present the current owners occupy two of the six bedrooms leaving the remaining four available to their guests. Ranelagh retains most of its original features and has been totally and sympathetically renovated over a period of three years in consultation with a heritage architect to ensure authenticity and comfortable 20th century living. Step back in time with the enormous lounge room that can be beautifully sectioned off into two distinct rooms with the assistance of the fabulous cedar bi-fold doors. Whether you want to catch a quiet moment next to the crackling logs on the open fire or enjoy the latest release on the 3 metre screen of the home entertainment system, you will never tire of this room. Another feature of this stunning section of the home is the two black imported Italian marble fireplaces with ornate mirrors above. The ceilings are original and up to 12 feet in height. Some feature tongue and groove cedar and others intricate plasterwork with antique light fittings. These soaring ceilings combined with the additional period features add to the spacious and timeless ambiance of Ranelagh. Each of the bedrooms are enormous compared to today’s standards with some offering the romance of open fireplaces. A large family/summer room is located at the rear of the home with access to the eat-in country style kitchen as well as the cellar. Other features of interest at this exceptional property include views of spectacular sunsets from the front verandah, alarm system, fully lit asphalt tennis court, salt water swimming pool, numerous sheds, well with a pump, large paved entertaining area, ducted cooling, asphalt driveway and parking bays, old wood stove converted to a fan forced electric oven, dishwasher and a built-in Coonara wood heater.
