Open Sun 9th Oct 1.30-2.00pm

The approach to Albemarle is identified by a stand of grand oak trees along Avenue Road and as one passes through the wrought iron gates one sees the house with its classical porch. The flat drive is lined with towering poplars and the garden evokes interest as nestling below the house is the folly and bridge which are surrounded by camellias, hydrangeas, agapanthus, tree ferns and pittosporum. This is all shaded by mature exotic trees which are dotted around the property. These help to keep the house cool in the summer and they provide a blaze of colour in the Autumn.
The interior of the house is enhanced by the 3 metre (10 feet) ceilings and exudes warmth and interest with its quality light fittings and drapes. The master bedroom has an ensuite facility and the elegant main bathroom has a black and white theme with heritage fittings. The second bedroom has a stunning view of the garden and the study could be used as a dining room or as a third bedroom. The latter has an open fireplace with a classical grate and chain spark protector. It also has a picture window overlooking the garden. The sitting room has a door leading into the conservatory which makes for ease of entertaining. The kitchen is stylish with its jarrah fittings and centre bench. It is equipped with European appliances. The conservatory overlooks the garden and whilst dining watching the birds such as rosellas, lorikeets, bronzewings and firetails is a source of pleasure. The conservatory has blinds for the roof; it is warmed by a Nectre slow combustion stove and has a slate floor.
