Balline House is arguably the best presented, historic stone house in Northampton, with very few direct comparisons and a fascinating history to boot. Built in the late 1920′s by the Forrester family as a town residence, the house was constructed on 1.34 acres, along the style of the “Californian Bungalow”. At the time, this type of house was very unusual for the area.

The property was acquired by the government during WW2, and was utilised as a convalescent hospital. A concrete step etched with “AUST. FLD. AMBULANCE” as well as the names and rank of some who were stationed here, remains today.

The first impression of Balline is of a grand house, constructed with a beautiful mix of sandstone colours, elegant window panes and double French doors. Central to the front is the large doorway that leads you in through the massive hallway that extends nearly all the way to the back of the house.

This exquisite, 4×1 home has been tastefully restored using both period and modern fixtures. Improvements include new electrical wiring, insulation, ducted air conditioning, brand new carpets and paint, a massive bathroom and country style kitchen. Perfectly placed at the rear is a generous patio, complete with ceiling fans, and a refreshing 9×4, below ground, salt water pool.

The “wow” factor continues outside with impressive stone walls, containing lush reticulated lawns and gardens, a feature fountain, established mango and citrus trees and a massive Moreton Bay Fig.

From there it’s just a short walk to the double car garage and huge 60′ x 40′ man cave. This shed is awesome! Features include, 2 mezzanine storage areas, a sliding gantry, a separate shower/laundry/toilet room, two large sliding doors, a workshop area and a loading ramp. Water catchment from these massive roof areas is stored, along with bore and mains water, in two tanks, comprising a whopping 110,000 litre capacity!

Balline House is centrally located in historic Northampton, just a couple of hundred metres from the shops and Catholic primary school.

This is a remarkable opportunity to purchase a little piece of the past, with literally nothing left to do. At this very reasonable price, you will need to be quick!!
