Purchased in 1980 the original 3 large rooms have been beautifully and sympathetically restored. The kitchen, dining and lounge room are all in one huge open plan living space. A modern slow combustion fire warms the whole house and being constructed of double brick, it holds the heat very effectively.
The home has extra wide polished timber floors throughout, high ceilings, ornate architraves, doors and window surrounds. Wherever possible original materials, finishes and patinas have been used in the restoration process and upkeep of the property.
In 1986 an architect designed two story wing provided two additional rooms at the rear of the building. The Literary Institute consists of two very large bedrooms, one modern upstairs bedroom beautiful casement windows and a gorgeous studio (or 4th bedroom) with french glass doors opening out to the garden.
The Literary Institute is set on 1450m2 of gorgeous, peaceful gardens with native and exotic plantings. There are many established trees both evergreen and deciduous, old fashioned roses, shrubs, and bulbs.
The garden is designed to work with the landscape (with Japanese and native Australian influence); there are narrow stepping stone pathways and separate areas, or rooms, for quiet contemplation. Birdlife is abundant in this beautiful haven.
Although the Institute is currently arranged as a 3 bedroom home, the location and ample space would be perfect for a caf or tea rooms, art gallery, museum or day spa. Opportunities are endless for this rare and unique property, one of Uralla's oldest buildings.
