This classic circa 1840 homestead on Tasmania's East Coast comes to market at spring-time, bringing the wonderful country gardens at "Sanda House" into colour and new life along with fruit trees festooned with blossom. Buyers searching for a country lifestyle, heritage home and with the style and durability of stone construction plus a love of Tasmania's East Coast, should inspect.
Currently held as a private residence offering 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms plus outbuildings, 33 Walpole Street could also be returned to service as a BnB home business 'walk in walk out'. A traditional BnB experience for the enjoyment of travellers yet to experience a significant coastal stone residence at the very beginning of Tasmania's 'Great Eastern Way' premier tourism route, has been an award winning business in the past.
'Sanda House' is the oldest house in the Orford area and was at the hub of the Orford community with the same family owners as the local post office for 64 years between 1876-1940.
