Hurleyville Richards Street, Cootamundra NSW 2590

This gracious homestead is a notable part of Cootamundra history, built by pioneer John Hurley between 1870 - 1880. Overlooking approximately 50 acres of grazing land and creek with views to Pioneer Park the exterior has seen little change over time. Internally there is an ambience which was created by the exquisite original details that are still so well preserved such doors, skirting boards, floorboards, marble fireplaces, high ceilings, timber windows and stunning floor to ceiling folding cedar doors separating the lounge and dining rooms. A substantial rear extension during the 1970's introduced additional living space, timber kitchen, bathroom and laundry utilising bricks and pavers from the original separate and dismantled kitchen and servant quarters. Current owners have undertaken numerous and significant improvements during their short tenure including sealing the driveway and the addition of a large shed with power, kitchen, cool room, and 2 portable toilets. Then with an eye for interior design a touch of luxury has been carefully introduced to many rooms with new carpet, painting, heating/cooling all while retaining and enhancing the original details. This home has been an enduring and a timeless beauty and will continue for many years to come and with ownership seldom changing hands now a rare opportunity to be amongst a chosen few.
