The building Malinar was built in the late 1800's

We had a new roof to the entire building added on approximately 5 years ago, and new back fencing added on approx 3 years ago

Although on a main road working from the study was reasonably quiet. Great to shut the door from the study adjoining to the lounge room at the end of the day and relax without no noise
