65 Cowper Street, STROUD NSW 2425
Derrybawn, built circa 1905, commands a stately street presence with its leafy attractive front gardens, fresh white exterior and period decorative features.
Today it serves as an admired private residence, but in a previous life Derrybawn served as a boarding house, often occupied by guests arriving by horse and carriage.
Lovingly restored by the current owners, the property is truly something special.
The grand hallway gives guests a taste of the home’s actual size. Spacious yet classically cosy, Derrybawn retains many of its original features including walls and ceilings of decorative pressed metal, wide polished Tallowood floor boards – mellowed to perfection with time, large timber windows – some with stained glass features, French doors, and fireplaces.
All but 1 of the 4 bedrooms include their own attached sitting rooms. The kitchen’s large windows provide a majestic view of the back garden whilst the spacious lounge room with separate dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining guests. A large main bathroom and ensuite round out the property as a versatile, beautiful home.
Ceiling fans are installed throughout and a large slow-combustion wood fire and air conditioning system create comfort throughout the seasons.
An elegant wide front verandah faces North-East, taking in the morning sun amongst established gardens and trees.
A back deck is perfect for alfresco dining. The fully fenced 1345sqm yard includes a double open garage as well as a single lock up garage and boxed vegetable patches. Although connected to the town water supply, the property also includes two rainwater tanks.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of Derrybawn’s long and interesting history.
