“Manningham”- a real sense of enchantment envelopes you as you enter this property. To arrive here feels like coming home.
Built in c.1920, this meticulously-maintained home is an effortless blend of character, charm and sophistication. Offering tranquil views over its exquisitely laid-out gardens, which are an assured delight to meander through, and the sapphire blue waters of the Tamar River, you will sense that this property is not only a thing of beauty, but also has a comfortable sense of familiarity.
The substantial residence is sited on a generous virtual waterfront 7451m2 (approx.) allotment, featuring mature trees, formal hedges and colourful perennials. Charming outbuildings are dotted about the grounds, and include a wood shed and an extra-length double garage with a workshop and attached double carport.
Outdoor entertaining and enjoyment will be effortless in the paved and sheltered courtyard, with ample room for family and friends, and even a spot of cricket on the lush lawn after! A quintessentially Australian wrap-around verandah means you’ll be spoiled for choice for places to relax with a book, or glass of wine, and wile away the hours watching the ever-changing river. Or find your favourite tree (there are many glorious choices!) to have an afternoon snooze under.
The home is rich with period features; high ceilings, skirting boards and picture rails, open fireplaces, intricate fret work, richly toned timber doors, and leadlight windows. Underfoot, there are recently revealed and polished timber floorboards, and luxurious, plush carpet in the two reception rooms and each of the bedrooms.
The family home comprises four generously-sized bedrooms, a formal living room and a cosy snug, a sunny kitchen and breakfast room with picture windows that frame delightful garden views, handily adjacent to a homestead-style walk-in pantry.
This recently refurbished residence in a picture-perfect location is an easy half-hour drive to the northern Tasmanian city of Launceston, and a convenient ten minutes to local shops, wineries, tourist attractions, schools and amenities- although you will probably never want to leave here!
For those that enjoy the finer things from a bygone era and have always romanticized about owning a truly special piece of history, do not delay. We think you may just fall in love with “Manningham”.
