An exceptional example of late Victorian Elegance built in 1888 by master craftsmen on land originally purchased by Reverend Mathew Quinn, Bishop of Bathurst. The home sits notably on a generous 898 m² allotment, is of double brick construction and has timeless appeal combined with an emphasis on space and privacy. Having undergone a significant renovation honouring the integrity of its historic significance while still meeting the demands of the modern family, it is ready and waiting for the next chapter.
With soaring 12 foot ceilings and impressive full length bullnose front verandah with french doors providing direct access to two bedrooms, three with exquisite marble fireplaces, this home offers versatile accommodation options: configure it as a classic three bedroom with separate formal living, dining plus family/entertaining rooms or expand into five bedrooms to suit larger or multi generational family.
The property has two well appointed bathrooms; the main bathroom has just been completely renovated while the ensuite/dressing room plus sizable walkin robe adjoining the master suite has been renovated in recent years and a recent makeover.
The Fresh white kitchen offers plentiful storage, colonial timber windows, island bench space and pantry that flows directly into the open plan family/entertaining area, featuring french doors that fold back on themselves to provide the ultimate in seamlessly combining the inside with the outdoors.
Practical features include reverse cycle air conditioning, optional separate formal lounge and dining areas, open plan family/entertaining, rear deck, established gardens, off street undercover parking for cars plus boat, trailer or caravan, garden shed, outside toilet, raised veggie/herb gardens and more. Despite its historical roots the layout is functional, private, and designed for modern day living.
Located within easy reach of local schools, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions, Gipps House affords the opportunity to experience its grandeur firsthand and appreciate the timeless quality that defines this unique property.
