OPEN FOR INSPECTION ON SATURDAY FROM 1.30 - 2.00pm.
Sitting high above the street-scape and retaining all of its authentic charm, Rothesay' c1888, was built on the highest point of the estate by Thomas Armstrong. The simple workers cottage has been lovingly restored and enhanced whilst retaining its period charm and appeal. Period details throughout the home include VJ walls, high ceilings, timber fretwork and timber floors.
All the hard work has been done. The home has a new roof, has been re-stumped and a Solahart hot water system has been fitted. A sympathetic extension has been added to create a peaceful, unique oasis. The tongue and groove walls and ceilings have been continued throughout the new extension so that there is no jarring of new and old. The spacious new kitchen has been detailed with the extensive use of Jarrah timber on the bench-tops and shelving. Beautiful sliding doors from both the kitchen and dining room were designed to allow a seamless flow out to a large covered entertainers' courtyard.
Wonderfully peaceful and private, this classic home is tucked away in a secluded one-way enclave. The front veranda is perfect for relaxing after a busy day, just watching the lights of the city come on as twilight draws in. The owners also enjoyed the delights of New Years Eve fireworks from this elevated position.
