Details

A curved lane lies along one side of the beautiful grounds and leads from the tree lined street to the Vicarage, residence of a vicar. Discovered in a rundown, neglected condition the grounds buried in years of foliage, then brought back to life with countless hours of love and the desire to preserve history. Built in 1874 and designed by Architect B.W. Mountfort, while there have been a few changes and additions over the years there are still original features, the building material is mainly native timber with tongue and groove ceilings. A 1977 separate 110 sqm De Geest built delightful light filled self contained two bedroom caretakers home adjoins the vicarage by a sunny covered verandah. This is a great mortgage helper and a recent rental appraisal is available.
The grounds consists of a large variety of trees and secret gardens including a weeping Elm whose branches create a natural outdoor room, there is also a land mark sequoia tree planted as a seedling which has had professional arborist care. The Vicarage had been a centre point where clergy and the public have come together for picnics, fairs, weddings and celebrations, which were held regularly. What a wonderful thought that it could be used in that way again, there are endless options for added income with this grande property. QV is in review.
