1697 Glenora Road Bushy Park TAS 7140

Here in Bushy Park stands a remarkable colonial brick house, steeped in history and character.

It offers country style living, a local store, cafes within ten minutes and only a scenic 15 minute drive to New Norfolk town services, including Woolworths, and from there only 30 minutes to central Hobart.

Situated on a peaceful large and level parcel of land, the property offers town water, ample parking and handy front and rear access. The property boasts all day sun and sweeping views of rolling hills, hop fields, architecturally splendid historic Oast houses, and from its verandah in the distance, views of majestic Mount Wellington.

The house features Georgian cedar mantle pieces and Georgian windows. All the doors are original and have rarely seen hand-forged colonial hinges. Some of the paint on the external wall seen in the photographs has been scraped off to reveal its original warm sandstone lime wash and its original colour scheme.

This spacious residence offers versatility in its layout with eight rooms, including four bedrooms and two living rooms, three of which are generously proportioned. The house was very well built, and as for the internal roof structure of huge, solid oak beams, it is a masterpiece of colonial craftsmanship, still perfectly seasoned and straight. The versatile interior can work with contemporary modern, country style or traditional furnishings and decor.

The kitchen has warm original Baltic pine lining boards, a window overlooking hop fields, hills and often sheep quietly grazing, marble topped celery-pine cupboards, and a brand new stainless oven range. A significant restoration has been undertaken by the interstate current owners including complete new wiring throughout, all new internal plumbing.

The rustic verandahs have been restored, including replacement of posts with sourced 100 year old Timbers.
The expansive grounds provide ample space for a garden oasis, complemented by a rare 150 year old quince, lilacs, wisteria and a 70 year old apple tree.
This is a beautiful property with extraordinary potential.
