Original stone residence built by Thomas Brown (Circa 1884), beautifully maintained & up-graded to preserve its originality reflecting the charm of a bygone era & offering a wonderful blend of old & new. When arriving at this outstanding 4 acre (approx.) property you’re immediately impressed by the tranquil environment, revealing a highly desirable landscape with a combination of romantic English style gardens, fenced paddock with large dam & majestic century old english oak trees lining the winter creek.
Impeccably presented throughout, all the character & charisma has been retained – mellow old stone walls, brick quoins, timber floors, ceilings, windows & doors & attractive lead lighting are just a few of the features that enhance the beauty of this timeless residence.
The versatile floor plan could be utilised in numerous ways & is currently disposed as a separate entry foyer, spacious country style eat-in kitchen with traditional wood oven, separate dining room, & two living areas.

The grounds are watered by the extensive watering system fed from the dam, there is excellent rainwater storage which is plumbed to the house & mains water is also available to the property.
