“Clear Oaks”- Historical 1808 Estate

This early colonial Georgian farmhouse has been nobly standing since the early 1800s. Listed as one of the oldest houses in Richmond, it has been tightly held for four generations and is embedded in a rich history of original settlements and convict colonies.

Ideally located a short stroll to Richmond amenities, the home is nestled on just under an acre of land, with established grounds which overlook the lowlands. The stunning heritage home is made from brick with an iron roof with small window panes which were originally transported from England in 1808 but have since been upgraded to double glazed panels.

The beautifully restored home contains many character features, including timber fencing and entryway, paved brick verandas, timber slab barn, fireplaces and Australian red cedar timbers. The ground floor of the property has a lovely veranda which opens into the formal lounge with fireplace, formal dining and a sitting room. The living area and kitchen at the rear of the home also house fireplaces and there is bathroom and laundry for convenience. The timber detailing is impeccable with chair railings, skirtings, floorboards and window dressings all beautifully renewed.

The upper level has three bedrooms, main with fireplace, study area, storage room, second bathroom plus a reading room with raked ceiling and dormitory windows plus access to attic storage.

Steeped in history and beautifully restored to enjoy with modern conveniences, an opportunity to acquire your very own piece of Australiana history.
