The history:
'Greycliffe' is a Gothic Georgian country home, on the outskirts of Launceston, ten minutes to the Launceston Airport. Convict built by Britton Jones in 1832 as his first Gentlemans' residence. He was a convict that went on to be an entrepreneur. In the 1880s the house was extended to accommodate a small private school for country children as boarders; naming the school 'Lynhurst'. The actual land is called 'Magpie Hill' so this name also became used in the 1830s. Surrounded by parklands and trees, it has only had a handful of owners since it was built, with blue stone foundations. The house was built on the highest point of the ridge, overlooking Relbia, as a great position to watch for bush rangers.
'Greycliffe' has been extensively renovated by a Tasmanian Interior Decorator over the past decade, flanked with an entrecĂ´te tennis court and six car garage, entering through a circular tree lined driveway, with spectacular views of Ben Lomond and the mountain ranges.
