You will be lost in historical nostalgia when you stand in the original two rooms dating back as far as the 1860's built with boulder rock and clay these walls are 15 inches thick with 12 foot high horsehair lath and plaster ceilings teamed with wide hard wood floor boards that over time have developed their own unique character and charm. Peel back the layers further and you will even find preserved in all its glory the original wood shingle roof.<br/>It's absolutely remarkable to see the blood and sweat that our founding pioneers put into building such quality, with all its original building materials this home has remained bold and true for more than 160 years, proof that they really did build things to last. <br/><br/>Later additions to the original two room cottage now include a third bedroom, lounge, dining, kitchen and bathroom with much more that will pleasantly surprise you. <br/><br/>Colonial style kitchen with skylights in the ceiling and facing north, this space is completely flooded with natural light and offers sweeping views across the neighbouring farmland.

Just to stand for a second and experiencing this creates internal fillings of homely warmth. <br/> <br/>The three bedrooms are all of queen size with timber floors. The front two main rooms have the high ceilings and historical character. <br/><br/>Another forgotten long lasting building material is terrazzo, and guess what this bathroom has it.
