Beautifully proportioned formal rooms boast gleaming jarrah floorboards, marble fireplaces, sash windows, exceptionally high ceilings, elaborate ceiling roses and intricate cornices highlighted with exquisite stained glass windows.

Family living areas and bedrooms are spacious and rich with original features including open fireplaces, jarrah floorboards, ornate ceiling roses, deep cornices and full height sash windows.
