    “We loved this historic property which has been well renovated and was well appointed, while retaining lots of character.”

    Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Well placed for exploring - out to the coast, or inland. The owner was also friendly and helpful. Front of the property is open to a fast main road, however traffic noise wasn’t an issue.

Walk down the path, flanked by lawns on either side, to reach the handsome stone exterior—a welcoming first impression of the charm within. Step into the fully-equipped kitchen, where wooden beams and stylish lighting set the scene for cooking up family favourites.

You might even find fresh eggs left by the owner—perfect for whisking up a fluffy omelette or starting the day with a hearty breakfast. The sitting room invites you to unwind with plush seating, a TV, and warm lighting—ideal for curling up with a book or enjoying a cosy evening by the fire. Heritage continues throughout, with exposed beams and a bay window in the sitting room, and tartan carpet and curated artwork adding warmth and personality.

From here, walk through to the dining room, where a Gothic-style pointed arch window, a second bay window, and matching tartan flooring create a distinctive and inviting space.

It’s perfect for lingering over dinner or sipping morning coffee as sunlight streams through the historic windows. As night falls, freshen up in either the ground-floor shower room or the first-floor bathroom, then head upstairs via the tartan-carpeted staircase to discover five thoughtfully furnished bedrooms.

Choose from a king-size with en-suite, two additional king-size rooms, and two ground-floor king-size bedrooms.

Exposed beams and tartan carpets continue the home’s timeless character.

Sink into soft bedding and let the peaceful surroundings lull you to sleep. Start your morning with a warm cup of tea on the patio, where birdsong fills the air and views stretch across two acres of shared paddocks—perfect for dogs to roam and children to explore.
