6 Chapel Street, Burra SA 5417

Leighton House is a stately manor circa 1900 that resides on an allotment of approx. 2220 m2 and is in a commanding location to take advantage of all the assets that the historical town of Burra has to offer. Boasting hospitals, boarding house and a community school, many specialty shops, eateries plus antique shops galore. Burra is the perfect getaway destination, positioned a short 2-hour drive from Adelaide, where one can easily take in the Clare Valley wine region and the many tourist attractions of its mining past.

This exquisite 5-bedroom mansion with 2 bathrooms would look at home in the leafy suburb of Burnside with magnificent entertaining areas and steeped in history.

Approaching the manor, you are greeted by a front verandah that has all the charm of yesteryear adorned with spectacular lace and fretwork that instantly transports you back to an era of prestige and influence. The wide, commanding steps lead you to a charming front door that is surrounded with decorative glass and superb quoin work.

Upon entry, you are greeted by a grand wide and separate entrance that is lavished with Lime stained floorboards that flow throughout the heavy traffic areas of the home. High ceilings and old-fashioned skirting boards just add to its charm and prestige.

The large carpeted lounge has a commanding view of the tree-lined street and features picture railings and an open fireplace plus a beautiful double door entrance creating a romantic appeal of opulence.

The grand dining room is positioned centrally in the home featuring a decorative pressed tin ceiling plus an original skylight with a pull awning to control the light penetration. The magnificent fireplace and double French doors on either entrance give style and enhance the décor of the room with a splendid chandelier that adds the finishing touches to this opulent room.

The 5 carpeted bedrooms are spacious in design plus bedroom 4 or sitting room features another open fire and bedroom 2 boasts a floor to ceiling built in robe. The master bedroom again features pressed tin ceilings but has the extravagance of a parent retreat or nursery that just makes this area so versatile in nature.

The ensuite attached to the master bedroom has a shower, toilet plus vanity and gives you all the modern conveniences that you would expect from a modern home.

The sizeable master bathroom also features a shower, toilet and vanity.

Positioned at the rear of the home we feature an expansive meals area and family room that again has exquisite double French doors that open up onto a large patio area that has been lavished with slate flooring.

The original stone walls of the home are now inside feature walls and grace the entire rear station of the living areas.

All the doors that exit the home are protected by modern black security doors, thus allowing constant air flow to maneuver throughout the abode.

The modern kitchen boasts an abundance of cupboard storage facilities combining pot drawers and ample bench area. There is provision for a double door fridge/freezer with the stainless-steel electric fan forced oven, stainless steel rangehood, dishwasher, microwave provision plus a silver splash back to add a touch of class. A double sink with mixer tap combined with modern pendant lighting and a skylight.

A very generous dry cellar completes the experience featuring an abundance of wine racks helping you to store one's precious cargo.

A double carport graces the rear of the home from a side entrance plus we have provision for many more cars off street. 2x 10,000 Litre rainwater tanks with pump are plumbed into the house and mains water replenishes the toilets. 19 Solar panels offer relief from those expensive power bills plus we boast 2 large Mitsubishi Mr Slim Inverter reverse cycle air conditioning units that are ducted throughout the home helping the keep the elements at bay. A third Mitsubishi reverse cycle split air conditioner graces the rear living quarters alongside a combustion heater.
