Welcome to this charming historic home in Stanley, "The Rectory" was built around 1843 as a Parsonage for the Church of England in colonial times. Situated on a large (1062m2), level block centrally located in the village with beautiful views across farmland to historic Highfield House and the ocean, this solid bluestone residence is noted on the Tasmanian Heritage Register, and has old world charm and period features. Theres 3 - 4 bedrooms, and a separate dining room all with original fireplaces. A functional galley style kitchen and scullery is ideal for any chef. Spacious living room has a cosy log fire with french doors opening onto the sweeping verandah. There's a private yard with established gardens a leafy oasis for children to play and explore, or may even offer subdivision opportunity (stca). The original bakehouse with hewn stone fireplaces and original wrought iron windows is currently used as an art gallery. A small room above here is believed to be the maids quarters, which is untouched - you can almost hear voices from the past. Theres also a double garage, with an upstairs loft which offers potential for studio accommodation or a workshop/office and has great sea views. This is a totally unique property, perhaps a once in a lifetime chance to secure and continue to preserve a part of Tasmanian colonial history.
