On entering the property, the feeling of grandeur is instantaneous, the impressive dual access circular driveway achieves a sense of arrival for visitors. The front garden is home to a Heritage listed Oak Tree which overlooks an abundance of fruit trees including quince and plum. The front veranda is real showpiece featuring cascading roses providing a scenic entrance to this magnificent home.

The Georgian front door leads into a stunning entry down a wide, impressive hallway with glass chandelier and servant bell. The original Blackwood staircase leads to the upper-level accommodation. The master bedroom with built in Huon pine robes offers splendid sweeping views over the property.

Upstairs there are four further bedrooms, two with elegant en-suites, and a further bedroom which is currently set up as a chic dressing room, a fashionista's dream space, a place to spend time in, where you feel your best. The main bathroom is the epitome of indulgence with an opulent English freestanding cast iron slipper bath with ball and claw feet.

Downstairs, off the main hallway there is an exquisite formal dining room. A library with its pressed tin ceiling is a sheer work of art. The cosy snug with exposed brickwork is the perfect space to relax. Off the snug is a further guest bedroom and powder room with external access through the French doors.

The dining area with original fireplace and chimney, offers sensational views through the original cedar sash window. The magnificently appointed farmhouse style kitchen with Baltic pine benches and double bowl butler sink truly is the heart of this home. There is a large walk-in pantry and an updated laundry with concrete trough.

The kitchen flows seamlessly through to the Colonial Long Room, circa 1813, which offers a grand entertaining area with stunning wood fire, original double-sided chimney and hand made shingle ceiling. The harmony of the formal and casual entertaining areas across the ground floor spill effortlessly to the outdoor courtyard and gardens, making the property the perfect location for functions and events.

Off the large sun-drenched courtyard stands the original heritage 6 stall stable with powered workshop which offers immense potential. Subject to Council approval, the character filled stables with original convict cut beams could be converted into guest accommodation or an event venue area. With the outstanding and flexible grounds, the opportunities for this property are endless.

You would be forgiven to think that you were in an English Country Estate while enjoying the exquisite, established gardens with an impressive row of pine trees. The peaceful sounds of the birds, the trees rustling and the flowing river of 'Little John Creek' offers maximum relaxation. Take a stroll across the bridge to visit the friendly ducks who call the creek their home, while taking in the beautiful blossom or take a seat, enjoy the surrounds, and read a book under the old Bay Tree, which is over 130 years old.

Just 5 minutes to Mona and 15 minutes to the Hobart CBD, this magnificent residence will be desired far and wide so don't hesitate to book your private inspection today.
