35 Dowling Street, Dungog NSW 2420

Live the Queenslander lifestyle in downtown Dungog in this Federation beauty. Ample gardens, a splendid verandah and expansive rooms create a feeling of grandeur lost in more modern abodes. Gilchrist House has a heritage and look of which to be proud. Named in honour of a local doctor who lived and worked out of the home in the early 1900s, it boasts many of that period's best features including polished floorboards, timber ceilings, original light fittings, an elegant hall and stone fireplaces. The house has been sympathetically restored to celebrate its unique style, but has all new wiring and plumbing, meaning you won't miss out on modern comforts.

A large country kitchen with stone benchtops and informal lounge provides plenty of space to entertain, with a separate dining and lounge room for more grand occasions. The elegant master bedroom includes a luxurious ensuite, walk in robe and working fireplace. Two generous queen bedrooms with French doors onto the verandah, and a sizeable office/ 4th bedroom share the second well-appointed bathroom. The lower brick arches lead to a well-fitted cellar, a working well and plenty of extra storage.

Set on half an acre of gardens with heritage roses and established trees and with views to the Cooreei Hills, it's hard to believe this impressive holding is just a few blocks from the centre of town. Respected as one of the dukes of town, this home is one Doctor people will be lining up to see.

Dungog is a rural town on the rise, with a vibrant and engaged community. Its close proximity to the major regional centres of Newcastle and Maitland makes it an easy commute for work; while for fun on the weekend it's just a short scenic drive to the acclaimed Barrington Tops or the beautiful beaches of the mid north coast. Three hours and you're in Sydney, but once you're here you probably won't want to go anywhere else.
