WELCOME HOME INN c1850
The main property was built circa 1850, and was held in the same family until c1880.
During the Goldrush it was a licensed venue trading as the Welcome Home Inn.

Architecturally significant the home features brickwork laid in "Flemish bond" pattern, the most attractive and perhaps the strongest of the traditional brick bonds. Side brickwork is in the traditional "English bond" on sandstone foundations. Other original features include the front door, fanlight above, louvred wooden shutters, beautiful original hardwood floor in hallway, 3.6m ceilings, and three chimneys.

The central hallway leads to 4 light filled bedrooms, main with WIR and ensuite. Large main bathroom with freestanding bath.

Sympathetically extended in c2010, with high ceilings and large dimensions creating a generous open plan family living and dining. Solid spotted gum flooring has been laid on an insulated concrete slab and the indoors flow effortlessly to various outdoor entertaining options, both covered and open. The laundry is adjacent to the kitchen and opens to the wrap around verandah.

The kitchen features Falcon electric dual oven and six plate cooktop, stone benchtops with twin sinks, dishwasher and a large walk-in pantry with custom timber shelving.

The renovation has been a ground up restoration, floors, walls, new ceiling and roof, electrics and plumbing, new hardwood Evalock doors and windows throughout, double glazed in the front.

COTTAGE c1844
Beaming with character and benefitting from the same thorough renovation and restoration. Built as the initial residence in 1944, it later served as a shop in the mid 1800's. It now serves as a self contained cottage, complete with separate bathroom, bedroom, kitchenette and spacious living area with TV hidden behind repurposed timber doors.
