Circa 1870's character sandstone home, which has an early 1900's extension and offers multiple living options and a versatile floorplan. It has red brick and plastered quoins and surrounds and bullnose verandahs. The entrance hall has impressive 13ft pressed metal ceilings, ornate cornices and high skirting boards and leads to the formal family/lounge which has the same outstanding features, along with a beautiful open fire place and mantle. The centrally located kitchen is bright with its vaulted skylight.
The formal dining room has polished timber floors and a new wood heater. Additional living or accommodation is via a large studio room which was previously the old bakehouse and still has the working oven and yet another open fire place. The accommodation includes very large main bedroom again with 13ft pressed metal ceilings, ornate cornices, a new ceiling fan and an open fire place. The second bedroom has timber floors and ceilings, an open fire place, built in cupboard and has separate outside entry as does the adjoining third bedroom. These rooms located near the front of the home are ideally suited to either residential purpose or perfect for an office/small shop front/cafe or art gallery potential.
Located above the bakers oven is a large loft accessed externally via the northern end of the home. Located under the main living level is a semi underground dry cellar with three separate areas with the ability for further development. The wide bullnose verandah extends to three sides of the home, enclosed verandah/porch sunroom plus a 2nd separate enclosed verandah containing a combined laundry/bathroom area and a separate glass window sitting room.
