This unique property presents the rare offering of an early Greythorn farm homestead dating back to 1917 part of an original apple orchard. The family residence now graces a large garden allotment of approximately 1,234sqm with a wide frontage. During past years it has undergone further extensions focusing on attention to detail whilst sympathetically preserving and replicating its beautiful period attributes including numerous bay and coloured lead light windows, arched hallway, extensive timber fretwork, stained woodwork, picture rails and high decorative ceilings with roses. The property now offers an opportunity to further update and enhance the interior or given the land size, developers may utilise the property for the construction of new luxury town residences (STCA).
