On approach through the impressive wrought iron gates the mansion, which is poised centrally on the land, exudes an aura of spaciousness and dignity, with a seasoned and understated elegance. Notwithstanding the grandeur of the home, it preserves an inviting warmth and sense of liveability, relevant to a modern family lifestyle.

Classical pillars at the front of the home support a wide, inviting verandah. The grand entrance with turned cedar pillars, intricate leadlight and original tiled floor speak of things strong and reliable, and is a hallmark of the stature of the home.

A beautifully proportioned formal drawing room and formal dining room flank the entry hall. Both have warm and generous open fireplaces, soaring timber batten ceilings with exposed beams and bright views to the gardens. One can only imagine the enjoyment of parties, celebrations, music, food and dance shared by the homes privileged custodians, of which there have been only seven over its near 150 year history.

The informal heart of the home is the impressive modern kitchen in a classical style, with stone and stainless steel tops and walk-in pantry. It oversees an intimate family/ TV and informal eating areas, both with quality cabinetry and display shelving. The northerly aspect of these rooms ensures they are light filled, and provide views over the sparkling pool area with fountain and pavilion.

A further billiard room with slow combustion heater and bar opens via French doors to the rear entertaining areas of pool, tennis court and gardens.

A grand formal study with fireplace and bay window over the verandah is an idyllic space to inspire your work or study.

The home offers generous accommodation with five double bedrooms (two ensuites), including the cavernous master suite (originally the homes ballroom), with an elegant bay window and French doors to the verandah.
