Originally purpose-built for Dr Percy Doyle in the early 1940s, the two-story brick and tile building retains all of the charm and character of its inter-war, Old English style heritage with its cathedral-style casement windows, original timber doors, brick fireplace and hardwood flooring and original internal timber staircase.
There have only been a few owners of this property in the six decades since it was built as a residence with consulting rooms for Dr Doyle, followed by Dr Binnie and Dr Wood, in this time it has been lovingly maintained and its interior tastefully refurbished in the style of its heritage.
The building has been used variously as doctor's and solicitor's rooms and more recently a funeral home, its use is limited only by the new owner's imagination.
There are two office spaces with their own private entry area into the main building, and an additional two offices and two large sheds separate from the main residence at the rear of the 1576m property.
The sheds are expansive at 14 x 18m and 10 x 15m - so large that one previous owner built an ultra light plane in them - with rear lane access and remote control entry and power and water connected. The old Kyogle Tennis Court shed is utilised as a garden shed.
Green Gables' residence has five bedrooms, all with built-ins.
Four of the bedrooms are on the upper level, while the fifth bedroom is located downstairs.
There are two bathrooms and four toilets in the home and with the lower level bedroom also having access to an extra shower in the laundry which is ideal for guests.
Whilst retaining so many of its attractive original features, the home has also been tastefully refurbished to suit today's modern lifestyle with expansive new kitchen boasting a walk-in pantry, granite bench tops, two drawer dish washer and the home's bathrooms also modernised, one with spa bath. There is ample storage under the stairs and a corridor behind the second bedroom.
The residence has the comfort of split system air-conditioning and sweep fans in most rooms. The formal dining area and lounge area feature original leadlight framework on the casement windows and a wood heater in the original brick fireplace, which could be easily removed to enjoy the functioning open fireplace
Outside is a timber deck that is ideal to catch the morning sun and at the rear, surrounded by established trees and picturesque greenery, is a large and private undercover entertaining area for weekend barbeques and gatherings with friends and family.
The property is fully fenced making it ideal for family and pets.
Parking is generous with three under cover spaces, while being located on Kyogle's main street offers plenty of convenient parking for business clients.
The features of Green Gables are simply too numerous to list - it really is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to purchase a rare property in a prime location with a history like no other building in town.
