Built in 1860 by Enoch Shepley as a general store and post office it is now a character family residence with detached studio and home to Victual Reality Catering.
Traditional features include freestone construction, high ornate ceilings, polished timber floorboards, open fireplaces, great cellar, underground brick rainwater tank, original woodwork and colonial paned windows.
Upstairs the residence has return verandahs with French Doors opening from the formal sitting room and bedroom providing delightful views. The sitting room is a warm and comfortable room with decorative cornice work, polished timber floorboards and original fireplace (now covered).
A side door off the sitting room leads to the enclosed verandah/home office with louvered windows and enjoys a northerly aspect for warming winter sun.
The heart of the house is the original farmhouse style country kitchen with spectacular timber lined skylight, slow combustion heater in open fireplace with mantle and a whole wall of pantry storage cupboards.
The main bedroom has polished boards, an open fireplace for romance with original mantle piece and large NY style walk in robe.
Luxuriate in the main bathroom which has an authentic deep soaking bath where you will spend many long hours relaxing and letting the world go by.
The lower level which years ago comprised the General Store and Post Office opens directly out onto Winns Road on has the Caterers kitchen and large dining room. Excellent for a home catered dinner party business or if food is not your cup of tea this area is the teenager retreat or extra bedrooms
Set away from the main house up a gently meandering garden path is a superb genuinely self contained studio apartment containing full kitchen, bathroom, generous living area with French Doors to the front verandah and a mezzanine bedroom.
Set in a picturesque hills garden dotted with flowering shrubs, camellias, fruit trees and the biggest box hedge seen. There is a long driveway off Winns Road the garage.
