This original and extremely enchanting solid brick farmhouse oozes with old world charm and has been lovingly preserved by its current family ownership over a 100 year period. Situated with a gentle elevation and great privacy – the property occupies a ¾ acre garden allotment just off the Old Drummond Road on Faraday Street. The home enjoys a beautiful aspect and a handsome façade with a distinct roofline, return verandah with timber balustrade that overlooks the garden and across to the iconic bluestone viaduct which Taradale is famous for. The home features tuck pointed brickwork, a grand entry and arched hallway, and the main rooms feature original wallpapers, ornate ceiling roses and stone mantle pieces. There are three or four bedrooms and two formal sitting rooms, the front two rooms feature bay windows with original picture window outlooks. There is a large farmhouse kitchen with cove ceiling, a Nectre wood heater/oven, separate bathroom/laundry, rear verandah with store room and second outside toilet. Original outbuildings also offer much charm and character with an old kitchen, wood store and buggy shed. The gardens feature a very old quince and apple tree and is fully fenced with a paddock behind the home offering great scope for further plantings or improvements. An adjacent 1.3HA {3.21 Acres} (with multiple crown allotments) parcel is fully fenced and features two beautiful old shade trees – one a pine, the other an oak. This parcel has power, town water at the boundary and is zoned Township which is suitable for further development STCA.
