'Rosie's BarnnA very unique and very inviting property that is beautifully private, with highly developed garden and grounds which 'draw you in' as one approaches the Coach House residence which is situated at the very rear of the land.
The two storey residence (with later additions) are the original stone and brick stables Circa 1879 which were used by Cobb& Co Rounsevell, Hill & Co established stagecoach routes in the Hills. In 1860, Mr Rounsevell was the mail contractor and, with a new omnibus, he ran a 'direct and daily conveyance' to the city. When Cob & Co from America bought them out, the local company leased the business back. ...From 1874 to 1887, Ferry's cottage (built in two sections) accommodated coach drivers, and the nearby stables their horses. There was also the main street, accommodation at 'Folingworth' for drivers, passengers and horses... - we gratefully acknowledge the information reference page 47 'Woodside' by Carol Brockhoff - The commercial style kitchen offers stainless steel work benches, double sink, Bianco commercial oven with five gas hot plates and diamond style slate flooring.
