101 Douglas Street

The historic home "Claremont" in the town of Tenterfield in Northern New South Wales can tell tales of some significant moments in Australia's political and cultural history. In fact, walking through this National Trust listed property is like walking through the pages of a great Australian history book. Built in 1875 and after careful renovation to restore this magnificent example of early Australian architecture. The home is constructed of triple red Tenterfield brick and the original cedar doors, door fittings, skirting boards and light fittings are intact. In the hall stands the original wall-mounted telephone still in working order and by the front door is two original cast iron pots imported from England when the home was built. "Claremont" is set on a corner block of more than two acres of land with two entrances and four separate titles. The acre surrounding the home is covered in immaculate gardens. A large rose trellis and three-tiered fountain add to the romance of the setting. It would make the ideal home or business opportunity with potential for use as a wedding or function centre, nursery or an historic bed and breakfast with the ability to cater for three couples in privacy. "Claremont" is only two blocks from the central business district.
