With only 6 owners in over 160 years, Salwick Hall, built for and named by the Dalgleish brothers, is on the market. Set amid a tranquil 3.8 acres approx.. of garden on Lake Learmonth, this notable country residence welcomes you with a circular drive, formal hedging, established grand trees, park-like lawns, and a wisteria-covered veranda that envelopes the homestead. Overlooking the lake and surrounded by farmland and a vista of ancient volcanic hills, the tranquillity of this property allows you to stop and breathe. The bluestone and granite homestead has large and gracious living areas with high ceilings and period features. The elegant formal lounge has a marble open fireplace, a stunning bay window, and domed ceiling with a crystal and gold chandelier. This flows through to the formal dining room of grand proportions with its own open fireplace with cedar mantel. The light-filled family room has solid French doors that open onto a sandstone terrace, shaded by a magnificent ash tree, great for those summer alfresco lunches or evening drinks. The kitchen has solid wood cabinetry, stone bench-tops, plenty of storage, large island bench, stainless steel appliances, double oven and induction cooktop. There is reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling throughout the house for year-round comfort. The homestead has large double bedrooms, all with garden or lake views.
