THE HOUSE
Built in 1891 during the late colonial boom, "Brigadoon" displays some of Australia's finest architectural styles from a bygone era. The homestead oozes with character & charm, and retains many attractive period features such as soaring 14-foot-high ceilings, embellished mouldings and ceiling roses, original timber floorboards, wide skirting boards, picture rails, tessellated tiles and sandstone windowsills. The entire residence has been faithfully restored and renovated, seamlessly incorporating present-day amenities to provide comfortable modern living.
The outbuildings include a cute original timber stable & coach house, and an 'old gardeners cottage' with approved plans to renovate and/or extend. There is great potential to configure this as visitor, family or Air B&B accommodation that overlooks the large rear paddock, while providing its own vehicle access. A truly magical spot to take in the serene rural vista.
