'SOLD WITH MULTIPLE OFFERS' '
At the centre of three titles sits the 5-bedroom home with a history 150 years in the making; a manor of epic proportions, propelled to greater heights by the one and only Pauline Hurren...
Welcome to the consummate entertainer; a place where kids get lost in adventures; where the real world feels like a world away, just 12 minutes from the Tollgate.
The point is: this grand two-storey home is so many things, and like nothing else.
To William Peters, it was his creation - a home that started and stayed in the one family for generations.
Today, the current owners leave behind those three titles* - one with another, albeit smaller 3-bedroom home - a pool, court, paddocks and royaleseque, boundless gardens... Certainly a rare offering where the pleasures of pony rides, motorbike tracks or the odd grazing Sheep seem just like the norm.
The very things that make its evolution complete.
Architect Pauline Hurren played her part - but without disrupting the integrity of its grand foyer and staircase, 3.5m-high ceilings, pillars and marble fireplaces.
If the ballroom - particularly its sheer size - is anything to go by then the gargantuan open-plan living arena should come as no surprise.
But the beautiful truth is that when you fling open the many sets of French doors to unveil a terrace dwarfed by towering, ancient pines, the surprises keep coming. And they don't stop.
You expected five bedrooms in such a big home. But you would never have guessed that every one has an ensuite with heated floors.
You saw the terrace balconies on arrival. But you wouldn't know that every bedroom on level two has their own.
And as your seemingly endless journey uncovers the master suite, games room, sitting room, four car garage, and travertine-smothered French provincial kitchen...
It's clear that 150 years is worth the wait.
