Prime agricultural property set on 36.62HA (90.4 Ac) of highly fertile alluvial soils and water security with 102 units of irrigation well water plus stock and domestic allocation.
Newington's highly fertile river flats are suited to a variety of agricultural pursuits and in most recent years produced high quality hay products. Previously a dairy farm, this Singleton landmark has been held by the same family since 1954 and is looking for its next custodian.
Established in 1847 and historically most well known as the "Woolpack Inn", the property was a resting place for travellers and their stock venturing to and from the port of Morpeth. Reverting back to "Newington" in the late 19th century, the original homestead is constructed of rendered double brick with high ceilings, original fireplaces and period archways. The front of the homestead has retained most of its original features.
During the 1970's the home received an extensive addition of a kitchen, dining room, sunroom, laundry and formal and three-sided fireplace at the rear. Currently configured as a 4 bedroom residence with three living spaces and formal dining room, the homestead offers historians an opportunity to retain its history or renovate as required.
Outbuildings include a 14m x 14m hay shed, 20m x 8m five bay shed, old dairy, 6m x 6m garage, and second well supplying stock and domestic water supply.
