Designated as a Registered Heritage Property, this spacious, comfortable Victorian home (circa 1874) is set within perennial, woodland gardens. The plantings are diverse and are visited by winding footpaths and little wooden bridges. A free-flowing stream marks the bottom of the garden. Crank the handle of the old door bell to pass from the spacious, bright L-shaped 3-season verandah into the front hall. A pleasant parlour on the right features a wood burning fire place with an air-tight insert. The insert has a fan and directs heat both throughout the parlour and up to the second floor. On the same hall is a space for hanging outdoor clothes. Pass up thirteen carpeted stairs to the second floor. This is an interesting area featuring eight rooms, including a dressing room, a bedroom with a rounded wall, a large airy bathroom with claw-footed tub, and the former nursery. The nursery is a large, pleasingly proportioned room characterized by an historically interesting children's linoleum (12x9) featuring illustrated games and texts of nursery rhymes. The linoleum is movable. Downstairs is the long living room with abundant sturdy shelves, and from here one enters through elegant glass doors into the equally elegant dining room where there are built-n drawers and a glass-faced cabinet.
