Built by well known Builder and Philanthropist, John Farelly in 1880.
Situated in Prime Position in Ipswich’s CBD.

This home is built of bricks on rock rubble footings, the roof was originally slate and all the ceilings lathe and plaster.
The ceilings in the upstairs section are all vaulted, and the plaster has been replaced with VJ boards.

In 1974 the verandahs were restored to appear much as it was originally. The present owners purchased the property in a derelict condition in 1989, and work has been carried out.
The upstairs area ia at street level with verandahs on three sides.
The double front doors are very welcoming.
The internal stairs have been reinstated to the original shape.
The arched plaster ceiling has been restored using the original framework.
Much of the materials used in the construction were reclaimed from earlier buildings, windows and doors have a distinctly Gothic look.

There are five bedrooms, a Parlour with Fireplace, Library and Dining with Fireplace.
There are two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs along with the two bedrooms.

The downstairs could easily be converted to a self contained flat.
Ideal for someone who wishes to run a business from the ground floor and live downstairs.

The views from the back family area are mafnificient and this property is crying out for a deck to take advantage of the vista.
