“Loloma” is situated in the heart of Armidale’s accommodation precinct, two blocks from the Post Office and only 100 metres from Central Park and Cathedrals. This historic home which dates to 1882 has undergone a five year ground up restoration. It comprises nearly 3/4 of an acre of established gardens and has many resort style facilities including salt water swimming pool, summer house with entertainer’s kitchen, ornamental rose garden and a full size north-south tennis court. The property also has approval to operate as a BandB should that be desired.
Fantastic attention to detail has seen the property re-wired, new plumbing as needed, re-glazed throughout, fully re-plaster set, new roof insulation and re-floored where required. Three superb additional bathrooms have also been installed. The extensive cedar doors and architraves have been restored as have each of the six marble fireplaces.
The main residence comprises 4 main bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom, two of these having separate lounge rooms and one even has a private kitchen. Another two bedrooms are currently used as a library and a TV room. A delightful French influenced main kitchen and family room with Carrara marble bench tops and custom joinery is a major feature. Additionally, there are beautiful drawing and dining rooms, a cellar, an impressive vaulted conservatory complete with slate flooring, a mud room and attached three car carport.
The property also features extensive brick paving, an irrigation system, kitchen garden, freestanding studio, additional garage and a garden shed.
Loloma is undoubtedly one of Armidale’s finest residences in a city renowned for much of its 19th century architecture.
