Renowned for the original Georgian architecture, this historic homestead has an award-winning architect designed addition and understated modern amenity. The sandstone residence, circa 1840s, is set in magnificent mature gardens in a wonderfully discrete location. The long held property has been extensively upgraded including natural gas hot water, cooking and heating, functional kitchen and two modern bathrooms. Built by the Bowden family on their 100-acre grant, the Old Colonial Georgian residence has all the hallmarks of Georgian style, symmetry, refinement harmony and elegance.
The two-storey home offers a gracious lifestyle with multiple living areas on the ground floor, both intimate rooms and spacious open plan areas. The addition, designed by architect Leigh Woolley, connects the living areas and kitchen adding a roof lantern to add natural light. Timber framed glazed doors at each end of the room overlook the peaceful and very private garden, creating the perfect dining and living area. Next are the music room and sitting room, divided by concertina doors, open into another spacious area when required.
The formal lounge room is charming with a unique hand carved mantelpiece, and French doors opening to the spacious sunroom. There are two studies on the ground level that can be used as bedrooms. There are two original staircases, one at each end of the house, to the four good-size bedrooms upstairs. The back-of-house staircase is narrow and was originally built for use by the servants.
