THE HOUSE OF YORKAbove the sturdy front door of the house is a coloured leadlight panel which features the "York Rose". Well-known local potter and ceramicist, Ms Joan Campbell who owned the home at the time, set about re-modelling and extending the original home in the early 1980s. Maximum use has been made of material recovered from the old St. John of God Hospital in Subiaco. This influence is evidenced by the "church" style windows in the lounge room, the back door and "cathedral" ceiling of the lounge/dining area.The bathroom is very spacious with its floor covered by a multitude of variegated ceramic tiles laid in a seemingly random arrangement. The floor is complemented by set of windows of varying shapes, most of which feature differing patterns in coloured leadlightThe kitchen bench tops are made of sliced timber from trees blown down in the South West during cyclone Albany, while the floor is tiled with what were originally earthenware roofing shingles from an old house in East Perth.A large main bedroom leads off to a front verandah which is secured by all-round lattice, another Recycled material sourced from the old Claremont Mental Asylum.An out-building which was Ms Campbell's studio has since been modified by the current owners into a guests retreat or home office with private bathroom.Enjoy your first morning cuppa and the pleasant outdoor surrounds each morning from the dining area through the numerous windows, or perched in a comfy chair in the garden.FEATURES2 Bed, 2 bathSplit system Air ConditioningDishwasherLarge BathDouble sized ShowerOff Street ParkingJarrah FloorsPets Considered on Application Available NOW
