Mike’s view
I’d suggest this type of home to buyers who value historic architecture, privacy and room for outdoor entertaining. Its land, stables and period features may also appeal to someone looking for an equestrian property or a substantial family residence.
What to check before buying a home like this
- Ask whether any heritage protections or consent requirements apply to the house and grounds.
- Have the coral stone structure, roof and original timber features inspected, and understand their ongoing maintenance needs.
- Confirm the title, boundaries and included acreage, particularly as adjoining estate lands are available separately.
- Check the condition, permitted use and maintenance requirements of the pool, gazebos and stables.
