One of Bayside's hidden gems! Guernsey House in Hampton East is a journey back in time. In the 19th century, it was the farmhouse in what was then market farming area. The property is an original and dates back to c. 1868.
On approx 600 sqm of land, this three bedroomed home is steeped in history and packed full of original features. The roof is double gabled, slate tiled at the front and corrugated iron at the back. The front porch flows with period wrought iron fret-work. Then there are the double Hawthorn Brick walls, high ceilings, corbelled archway and lead light windows, all a reminder of when properties were built to last the test of time. The interior is surprisingly unique with a balance of classic and modern features. The separate large lounge is dominated by an open fireplace, flowing into a separate large dining room, while the central feature of the updated kitchen is an original Rex wood fired oven.
Off the long hallway, with Baltic pine floorboards, are the three large bedrooms. They are all doubles and two have built-in robes and study areas.
Outside, evidence of the once fertile land continues. The front and back manicured gardens are lush and full of established trees, shrubs and plants.
Well located, near schools, shops and parks, this piece of history has a charm of its own. Features Lock Up Garage
