RESIDENCE:
The original homestead was constructed in 1873 and has undergone a couple of tasteful and extensive upgrades that now form this impressive residence. The two storey structure has a grand country homestead exterior highlighted by the balcony on the top level which also is under the main roof, and the wide bull nose verandah at the western end of the home. The rooms of the home are large and along with the nearby outbuilding offer a generous amount of living options. Beginning with the large elegant formal rooms that feature 10ft3in ceilings, both lounge and adjoining dining room have ornate fireplaces with timber mantles. There is a split system air conditioning unit in lounge which has access from the verandah. The slate floors that are here are prominent throughout the home. The kitchen has plenty of room and combines modern appointments with a country orientation by way of the facade on the cabinets, movable island bench, Jarrah bench tops and window ledges. The cooking appliances are built gas stove and built in electric wall oven. As with all good country homesteads, there is a massive walk in pantry. Next is an informal family room which also has the slate floors and has tandem skylights and a slow combustion heater. The upper level of the home accommodates the master suite which is a very spacious bedroom, parents retreat and ensuite bathroom. Twin ceiling fans, two air-conditioning units beautiful lofty timber ceilings, heritage themed tiling, large shower alcove and vanity unit, bamboo flooring and double doors to the north facing balcony all make up the upper level main bedroom. Back downstairs, bedroom number two is a double size with a large built in robe and built in book cases. The timber look floors here are also in the third bedroom, which is warmed by the combustion heater located in the family room. The fourth bedroom and designated office/study with its shelving, drawers and concealed underfloor/under stairs storage are located on the lower level along with the main bathroom. In the unlikely event that more space is required, a few steps from the home is a stone and brick building that incorporates a sleep out/bedroom 5, laundry room and underground dry cellar. In review, this home is interesting, individual, impressive and desirable.

IMPROVEMENTS:
A delightful outdoor area involves a partially undercover timber platform, which is opposite a gas heated fibreglass spa with timber steps and bamboo reed surround. A paved walkway links this area to the home. The main shedding is about 60ft in length and best described in sections. 20ft x 30ft has concrete floor and power. The next 20ft x 30ft section is three sided and is used as a workshop/storage area. There are lean to sections on each end one being a stone carport and the other being a lockable enclosure with roller door. An old ruin which was once used as horse stables now is utilised as a chook house. An inground 15,000 gallon rainwater tank supplies water to the home and an indirect water supply could be made available.
