Large homes in such a wonderful location as this -with all the key period features intact, from Baltic pine floorboards to a slate roof - are rare gems that renovators covet.

Also at the rear is a third bedroom, Victorian -style bathroom, laundry and second bathroom and an open-plan sunroom.

Also at the front is a wide period verandah – an ideal spot to enjoy a sunny winter breakfast or a cool summer afternoon drink.
