Lying on more than three acres, this three-bedroom cut-stone house dates back to 1753 as the stewards’ house for the nearby Barrowmount House Estate. Upgraded over the years, it extends to 135sq m (1,453sq ft) with exposed internal walls and open fires. All front windows have recently been replaced with double-glazed sash types. Outside, two adjoining paddocks straddle its driveway, and there is a stream on site. Raised beds, neat lawns, a vegetable garden and orchard will be a plus for green fingered enthusiasts.
