64b Old Mount Barker Rd, Stirling is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom House and was built in 1857. The property has a land size of 2233m2 and floor size of 222m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in August 2021.
Dating back to the 1850s, this Tiersman's cottage has been beautifully restored & extended, creating the perfect blend of old & new offering a piece of early settlement history in one of Adelaide's premier locations in the Adelaide Hills. It has been home for many families & rumours suggest that at one time it was one of the very earliest 'unlicensed premises' - better known colloquially as a 'sly grog shop'.
Created by skilled craftsman, the original building was built of stone quarried from the site, a sapling & shingle roof & locally felled timber. In recent years, Pauline Hurren, the renowned Adelaide architect, has been responsible for restoring this property back to life. Respecting the existing dwelling & ensuring it was not overwhelmed, Pauline has sympathetically incorporated a superb extension which honours the historic past, with high quality construction & utilizing the needs of today's modern family.
