Stepping into Roseville, a historically significant house in downtown Singleton, is a rare privilege. A meticulous renovation has created a spectacular family home, while also preserving a local treasure.
Exquisite period features, such as soaring 11 foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and painstakingly restored western red cedar joinery meld seamlessly with contemporary additions of ducted air-conditioning and modern kitchen, bathrooms and appliances. Beautiful French doors in many of the rooms open directly onto to a wide wraparound verandah.
The extensive renovation was achieved methodically; the improvements include new plumbing and electrical wiring, new concrete footings and brick piers. Power points, light switches and pull cords have been chosen in keeping with home's heritage ambiance. Taking pride of place in the light-filled timber kitchen is a 900mm Falcon range with gas cooktop and electric oven. A hidden underfloor cellar is a unique period feature.
Some of the original cast iron fireplaces remain, and a slow combustion fireplace has been added. There are four large bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an en-suite to the main bedroom. The main bathroom has been cleverly styled, with a claw foot bath and tiling in heritage colours.
Outside, an undercover entertaining area overlooks a lovely, private, landscaped yard with a level lawn and manicured hedges. Close to this space is an external studio (or guest room), and a workshop/storage room. A pretty picket fence fringes the front of the property, with an automatic gate completing the picture.
Roseville was built in the early 1860s for William Burton Wade, a railway construction engineer. Details of the house are included in the Singleton Historical Society's book, 'Shingles, Slabs & Sandstone - A History of Early Singleton District Homes to 1870'.
Roseville is now shipshape and shiny and ready for its next chapter. Will this be your Next Move?
