A grand 5-bedroom home on 1538m2 nestles at the top of a charming cul-de-sa.
HISTORY:
This house was built circa 1909 at Bergins Hill for John and Ellen Walker. John was one of 5 brothers who owned and operated the Aberdare Colliery at that time. In 1918 an acre of land became available on limestone hill, extending from Cintra street to Chermside Road. John and Ellen bought the land and the following year, shifted their house there by bullock teams. Descendants believe this house was also extended after it was shifted. About 1950 this house was converted into flats; very common after the second world war when there was a huge shortage of accommodation. It was restored in the 1980s and has now returned to its former glory. After more then 32 years of living in and lovely maintaining and restoring this magnificent colonial home, it is now time to hand over to new custodians to preserve and enjoy all of the benefits of colonial lifestyle.
