Bentley is an important slice of Huonville history as this very substantial architecturally designed home was at the time of building exceptional both in size and appointment. Many features were not found in most homes of the era - those wonderful features are still today a stand out and the feel of the time is very evident in every room. This home has been in the same family ever since it was built in 1939.
Built of Dover glazed bricks in soft cream there are high ceilings, picture rails, curved window frame and skirting features and everything has been kept in perfect condition. Originally there was a tennis court at front of the property and in ground swimming pool at the rear - swimming pool needs some attention to bring back to working order. The magnificent gardens spread over the 9057m2 property were a showpiece and still to this day are special. There is even a layout of the original garden naming all plants still in the family possession.
The 271m2 home comprises 3 large bedrooms, formal lounge and dining separated by feature glass sliding doors, large dine-in kitchen with lots of cupboards and original stove that still cooks perfect scones, a testament to a good stove. The sunroom added at a later date stretches right across the north side of the home and is accessed off the kitchen. The rear entry area has an office, woodshed, large laundry and a store room that was previously maid quarters. The garage gives direct access to the home.
