"Yatala" is a classic federation Mudgee sandstone brick homestead of distinction! Designed by the renowned architect of the period, Harold Hardwick and built in 1908 by the prominent merchant, John Kingsborough Kellett and his wife Annie. The home itself occupies a lovely high-set position in a good central location within easy walking distance of Mudgee's shops and cafes. The home represents a wonderful opportunity for the right owner to add their own touch, having changed very little since being built except for the addition of a sunroom and sympathetic garage/workshop and cabana.
The entry to "Yatala" is via a grand central hallway that leads to a spacious lounge/dining room with burning log gas heater, side door to the veranda and original windows that would have overlooked the "croquet lawn". There is also a family room with wood heater, four bedrooms with a beautiful bay window and window seat in the main bedroom. The kitchen is original to the home, a classic eat-in style with huge walk-in pantry and thoroughfare to the lounge/dining for serving. The bathroom has been refurbished as has the laundry. A delightful wide veranda with turned balustrades and posts extends along two sides of the home and a covered walkway leads to a recently and sympathetically built brick double garage with workshop and cabana.
"Yatala" is set on a large 2,023m² parcel of land with beautiful established trees and gardens and in-ground pool. The homestead itself retains virtually all of its original character and charm with high ceilings, beautiful Baltic Pine floorboards, Oregon timber joinery, panelled doors, high face brick chimneys and Flemish bond tuck jointed brick work.
One of the more prominent and historic Mudgee homesteads, "Yatala" was held by the Kellett family from construction until the late 1980's when it passed to the current owner and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of this calibre largely in its original condition!
