Constructed by Samuel Clift circa 1853, Clifton is steeped in history and surrounded by park-like grounds in the picturesque Hunter Valley.
Set on a parcel of approximately 7 acres, the two-storey homestead stands proudly with an adjacent convict-built servants quarters, coach-house and gardeners cottage. As you step inside the main residence, original tessellated tile verandahs, stunning stained glass sidelights, extensive pressed-metal ceilings and beautiful hand-crafted cedar joinery set an expectation which is only surpassed as you move through the home. On the ground-floor, a formal dining room, kitchen, lounge and open extension provide abundant living spaces and a generous bedroom and bathroom allow for living on one level if required. Most rooms have ornate fireplaces, more pressed-metal ceilings and endless cedar joinery. Upstairs, four large bedrooms with fireplaces and a study, storage room and bathroom join a central hall which also opens to the upstairs balcony with views across the surrounding countryside. An underground sandstone cellar completes a spectacular residence.
Adjacent to the homestead are the convict-built sandstone-block servants quarters with kitchen, laundry and two upstairs loft bedrooms. Further through the garden is a one-bedroom gardeners cottage or office with kitchenette and finally a huge coach-house which has been used for storage but would make an amazing function space, conference facility, art studio as well as plenty of other uses. All buildings have amazing original features and generally in good order and the coach-house has recently been re-roofed.
