'Ingleburn' is set back from the corner of Roxburgh and Allen Streets in Lorn. On a large double block veiled by mature trees, neat hedges and picturesque gardens, this elegant and distinguished residence stands proud.
Highly renowned local architect, James Scobie was commissioned to design this home for Arthur Howarth, the local member for Maitland circa 1890. This delightful home is an expression of the Victorian era where master craftsman successfully applied their skills in construction and design to complete enduringly beautiful residences.
As the third family to have owned 'Ingleburn', the current occupants have been responsible for the immaculate restoration of both the residence and gardens to a superior level of comfort and style, whilst remaining sympathetic to the original design intention.
A deep bullnose verandah with decorative cast iron lacework frieze depicting the rose, shamrock & thistle is supported by Corinthian styled iron posts, characteristic of the Victorian era. The three floral emblems of England, Ireland & Scotland are displayed, growing from a single stem signify the unity of the three kingdoms under Victorias rule. Wrapping around two sides of the home, the verandah is then enclosed on the North-East facing side by a painted timber conservatory, creating the perfect green-house like sunroom. Finished with a classic tessellated pattern tiled floor and French doors, a stately yet tranquil atmosphere is enriched by the visual connection to the surrounding gardens.
A traditional front door arrangement showcases stained glass panels to the door, side windows and upper fan light window. This opens into a wide central hall where detailed cornices adorn the ceiling and an elaborate arch breaks the space. 12 inch skirtings, polished Douglas Fir timber floors and grand high ceilings ensure your guests will be sufficiently impressed. Generously proportioned bedrooms line each side of the hall separated by a luxurious bathroom, where a frameless shower, marble topped Tasmanian oak timber vanity, toilet and deep claw foot bath are arranged on a tessellated tiled floor.
The formal lounge/dining room connects to the kitchen and through to an informal living room at the end of the hall. These have all been upgraded; a gas conversion to the fire place in the lounge matches the one in Bedroom 2. The incredible kitchen would impress any amateur chef or passionate cook, well planned and with all the finest finishes, fixtures and appliances, nothing has been overlooked.
A square set opening through an old external wall connecting the kitchen and informal living room reveals the homes impressive solid structure. The raked ceiling fitted with recessed downlights and the reverse cycled air conditioner provides year round comfort and practicality.
A French door provides access to the side verandah, while a solid back door connects to the triple garage via a covered alfresco area. This huge brick paved space extends from under the covering to meet soft lush Sir Walter Buffalo lawns surrounded by magnificent gardens in the private backyard. An opening roof of adjustable louvers in the roof can cleverly let sunlight in or keep rain out, perfect for year round entertaining.
Opposite the garage stands the large modern laundry with wall to wall built-ins and a stone topped bench extending across the facing wall provides plenty of work area. An attached bathroom boasts quality fixtures and convenience that comes with a well-planned home.
Additional vehicle access in the rear corner of the block off Allen Street exists, currently leading to a Colorbond studio, complete with heritage combustion heater, lighting, storage facility and a loft; the perfect teenage retreat or workshop. The veggie-patch in front has also been well maintained encouraging a healthy lifestyle.
