Circa 1890, Trafalgar House was built as a guesthouse and has continued as such with every owner since. The property has been owned by the same family for over 20 years and has been lovingly cared for during this time.
Sitting on 1345sqm approximately on the corner of The Strand and Freeling Street, this superb and substantial property is on the Local Heritage Places of Port Elliot list. The property is proudly positioned near the headland and its world class cliff top walks, Memorial Gardens overlooking Horseshoe Bay and the tennis courts in Port Elliot's township.
Trafalgar House is operating as Trafalgar Premium Vintage Suites, a professional tourism accommodation business and is fully accredited by the South Australian Tourism Industry Commission. Whether as continued holiday accommodation or as a large private residence, this home offers comfort and style in keeping with the authenticity of the building...a special offering indeed.
The property consists of the main residence plus three separate suites. In total the building incorporates 8 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 3 kitchens and multiple living areas. Major renovations were conducted in 2013. The 1920's two bedroom Maids Cottage, named as it was the original maids' quarters when built, has a kitchen, lounge and bathroom and its own separate entry is off The Strand. The Lady Hamilton Suite is a beautiful, self-contained suite with a feature stone wall in the kitchenette, one bathroom and lounge with its own private courtyard...a stunning guest wing addition. The Strand Suite is located at the front of the building with ensuite bathroom and lounge room, but could be your own private master suite.
The balance of the property comprises a further four bedrooms, three living rooms, three bathrooms, one of which has been recently renovated into a simply stunning master bathroom, a main kitchen, laundry and 'his and hers' study, now in demand as we find new ways of working from home. An expansive dry cellar sits directly underneath the kitchen. There is ample potential to increase the accommodation capacity further if desired.
With so many important features to note, this residence boasts high ceilings, polished floor boards and original stone walls throughout. The traditional entrance is from Freeling Street to a graceful drawing room that leads to the rest of the home. The second entry off Freeling Street leads through a private sunny courtyard to the large casual living, dining area and kitchen that has the pantry, breakfast bar and dishwasher. The living room is fitted with a combustion fireplace and has raked ceilings and glass doors to the beautiful cottage gardens.
Other features include five split system reverse cycle air conditioners, four combustion fireplaces, two septic systems installed in 2013, 4.2 kilowatt of solar with 22 panels, NBN, double garage with inbuilt workshop under the main roof and a 7 x 7 ft shed with mezzanine at the rear. Cottage gardens to the Strand are framed by a white picket fence and the private low maintenance back gardens with rainwater tanks have a newly built undercover pergola which offers a very large outdoor dining area, plus built in barbecue.
