345 Kialla Rd, Crookwell NSW 2583

Constructed in the 1870s by immigrant Welsh stonemasons using locally quarried stone, the teacher's cottage (c. 1876) and adjacent schoolhouse (c. 1873) at Kialla present a rare opportunity to purchase a genuine piece of mid Victorian Crookwell history.
Following relocation for work, the current owners of the Old Kialla Schoolhouse reluctantly offer this unique, period property for sale. The teacher's cottage has undergone sympathetic renovation in recent years, providing comfortable 21st century family living while maintaining the historic character of the property. The current owners have stripped back elements of the home to reinstate original features, resulting in an attractive fusion of old and new.
The property offers the best of both worlds, providing a charming rural retreat without the commitment of a working farm. Close to the lovely country town of Crookwell in the Central Southern Tablelands of NSW, the Old Kialla Schoolhouse sits on its own 2 acres of pretty, parklike grounds (the former school playground) with rambling cottage gardens and majestic conifer wind breaks. The property is surrounded by idyllic farms and other historic properties, churches and ruins of the Kialla locality, formerly known as Gullen (settled in the 1860s).
Situated within the renowned, picturesque and highly sought after countryside of the Bannister-Kialla agricultural region, the Old Kialla Schoolhouse is a quaint and cosy haven nestled amongst the borrowed rural landscape of neighbouring farmland.
