Built by renowned local builder Mark Roberts in 1913, "Braebank" sat proudly atop South Hill at a time when Lynches Road was little more than a lane for horse & buggy. Originally a property on acres with stables, orchards and paddocks, careful subdivisions over the years have preserved a level of grandeur within a private neighbourhood of beautiful gardens. Every first-time visit elicits a similar comment: I had no idea this place was even here!'
Masterfully extended, renovated and restored by the current owners, the home offers glimpses of the gardens from every window. There are four bedrooms (two in the original homestead and two in the southern wing extension), two generously sized and beautifully decorated bathrooms, two family rooms (one ornate and one more modern), a music/art room, an office, a walk-through library and a modern kitchen connected to a centrally located dining room. The interior is complemented by two verandahs, a garage with electric doors, a carport, an underground beehive rainwater tank and a fully programmable watering system.
The property, on a generous 4100m2 title that fronts Lynches Road, sits at the end of a 100m long private gravel driveway. It has a beautiful north-easterly aspect and makes the most of the sun in the expansive north- and west-facing gardens.
Braebank' is a property etched in Armidale's history with only four families lucky enough to have called it home in over 100 years.
