Built in 1852 as the original Kenton Inn, this solid Bluestone colonial home has been beautifully renovated to capture the warmth and character of yesteryear, whilst complementing its period detail with modern finishes.
Leadlight, high ceilings, casement windows, detailed cornices and original Baltic pine flooring are just some of the features which are immediately appealing, in this large, but cosy and welcoming home.

The kitchen is stunning with painted wood-panelled doors, feature marble tiled
splashbacks, Miele oven and cooktop, slate tiled floor and a Masport pot belly stove.
Generously proportioned, with a view overlooking the private courtyard, it is designed to be both practical and aesthetically appealing.

The family room, which in earlier days served as the front bar, is complemented by beautiful leadlight in the extra-large door, Victorian cornicing and casement windows. In winter it becomes a cosy retreat warmed by the Nectre slow combustion wood stove. The dry cellar below is perfect for storing your cherished wine collection.

Leading off from the entrance hall is bedroom three which is accessed via the music room and bedroom two via the study.
All rooms feature polished timber floors, detailed cornices, high skirting boards and the study and music room each with a display fireplace and feature surround (capped).

The master bedroom boasts a floor to ceiling built-in wardrobe the length of the room and features an enormous ensuite bathroom, with its own bath, shower and double vanity. The Nectre wood fire adds to the warmth and creates a peaceful and relaxing haven on a cold winter’s night.

An exquisite and generous light filled formal dining and lounge room adjoins the kitchen and family room and would be perfect for dinner parties.
Another slow combustion wood fire features in the lounge/dining room, but should you wish for ease and convenience the home also has ducted reverse cycle air conditioning throughout.

Outside is a beautifully sheltered paved courtyard for entertaining, a delightful Liquid Amber and attractive dry stone walling in the terraced garden. The allotment is 1215m2 in total and offers mains water in addition to the large rainwater tank which provides water to the kitchen and hot water service.

Additional features include the Pittosporum edged 9.5 x 4m fully fenced, salt chlorinated inground concrete swimming pool and 20 x 30ft shed with power and concrete floor accessible via the driveway.

This is a warm and inviting home, full of character and real charm, beautifully renovated and substantial in proportion.
