Last Listing description (January 2013)
'ANSTEAD HOUSEn???Anstead House??? is one of the area???s finest historical homes. Built in 1879 as the manse for St Stephen???s Presbyterian Church in Limestone Street, Ipswich, the house was a major local landmark until it was moved to the present site in 1971.
Offering spacious and elegant acreage living, the property is serenely quiet, yet close to transport, shopping centres, schools, local amenities and pony clubs. For the commuter, it is twenty kilometres from both Brisbane and Ipswich CBDs, ten minutes from Kenmore and three minutes from Bellbowrie.
Set on one hectare of usable land and horse paddocks, ???Anstead House??? is approached via a charming circular drive lined with 40-year-old Cassias. The residence retains most of its original features ??? extensive verandahs, wrought-iron railings, 14-foot ceilings, fireplace, French doors, antique glass, leadlight windows, gold-plated brass fittings, Hoop pine polished floors, solid cedar doors, large eat-in farmhouse kitchen and walk-in pantry.
There are four very large bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms ??? all opening onto verandahs ??? and a separate studio or work-from-home office. The main bedroom has its own en suite and ???his and hers??? dressing rooms, each with built-ins and vanity.
Covered verandahs surround most of the house, capturing gentle breezes, light and warmth all year round. The unique floor plan comprises two separate dwellings connected by a timbered walkway and central courtyard set around a magnificent poinciana tree. This is just one of many recreation areas that the house has to offer, all perfect for entertaining on a large or small scale or just to sit and soak in the serenity.
The second dwelling, built as a separate wing in 1978, overlooks the pool and features separate children???s or teenage accommodation and its own bathroom, rumpus and loft. Alternatively, the structure lends itself to private guest-wing accommodation or conversion to a spacious granny flat.
Modern enhancements to this historic home include CAT 5 Ethernet network cabling, high-speed Internet access, ceiling fans, gas heating, dishwasher, range hood, swimming pool, a 10,000-litre rainwater tank, secure lock-up garage and covered parking space for up to five cars.
The grounds are home to abundant fauna and birdlife, including pale-headed rosellas, king parrots, lorikeets, kookaburras, tawny frogmouths, goshawks and pheasants, as well as the occasional koala, kangaroo or deer that might wander down from the nearby state forest. There is a fully fenced and lockable paddock, perfect for adjistment, and a massive barn to store your hay bales and horse float, or if you prefer, park your boat and set up your own workshop.
Whatever your lifestyle, this magnificent home will offer you something unique and rare.
