Circa 1840 this gorgeous old character home on just under an acre, started life as a simple four room mud brick cottage with a separate sandstone dairy in the back yard. The original structure was extended in the late 1800s with the addition of a large sandstone wing that included lovely wrap around bullnose verandahs. Further extensions were added in the early 1920's and the mud brick walls were all clad in rusticated hardwood weatherboards. The result is a delightful rambling home filled with charm. Featuring 3 metre ceilings, polished hardwood floors, four working fireplaces and original windows. Upon entry into the traditional hallway you are drawn to the light filled sitting room, its sandstone walls and polished concrete floor that was the old dairy floor! This beautiful room is the centre of the homestead and seamlessly links the bedroom and living room wings.

There are six large bedrooms, three with ensuites and a main bathroom with claw foot bath, a small lounge and study at the front entry, each have open working fireplaces. The farmhouse kitchen features polished timber benches, a double St. George oven and the "Old Dairy" living/dining room. Both rooms open to the massive undercover light filled courtyard and deck that is framed by the studio and a separate guest bedroom. Zoned central heating throughout and 2kw of photovoltaic cells. Surrounded by beautiful and well established cold climate garden, a gorgeous mature oak and old spruce trees provide shady hollows but allow in plenty of sunshine.

Entry to the property is via a circular gravel driveway and your eye is drawn to a beautiful golden spruce, all conspiring to the feeling of stepping back into a gentler time.
