Offered at Auction on Saturday 15th December at 12.30pm on-site.
Situated in the historical Midlands hamlet of Parattah; this unique property has quite a story and is part of the fabric which makes up the Southern Midlands community. Constructed in 1920; this weatherboard character home provided a resident for Constable Pegg and his family during the 1950s until the 1970s; as one of the police houses which serviced the community. A number of original finishes from in its heyday as police home still remain; the timber overnight jail cell in the backyard and sitting room with a separate side door access. The home features the following:
-Five spacious bedrooms.
-Original timber floorboards and open fireplaces.
-Separate kitchen with walk-in pantry.
-Separate bathroom and wash/laundry room.
In addition to the over-night jail cell; a single car garage and wood shed are set on the fully fenced 0.2159ha (0.533 acre) property. The flat to sloping block has ample amount of space to develop a market garden with a northernly aspect over the Parattah township and rural surrounds.
Established in 1876; Parattah was a thriving railway township; but now is a close-knit community of around 100 residents. With strong ties to the timber, agricultural and railway industries; Parattah has a number of historic buildings which have been restored by a number of local residents. Only 8km (8minutes) south of the Southern Midlands hub of Oatlands (along the Tunnack Road); Parattah is an ideal location to enjoy the quiet rural lifestyle.
The character and charm of this property does still remain but with some restoration; it could be brought back to its glory days.
