Ten minutes from the main town of Bathurst, Alloway Bank is approached via a picturesque private driveway giving a wide vista of the 27 acre (10.91 ha) historic estate. Built in 1829 by Captain John Piper, former Naval officer of Port Jackson (Point Piper), this rare opportunity to purchase your own slice of Australian history is one not to be missed. Boasting a majestic foyer, step back in time with 14 foot ceilings, original cedarwork and period locks. There are several huge living and dining areas each with original, beautifully designed working fireplaces. The family size country kitchen features an AGA fuel stove with a central island bar, perfect for family breakfasts. The 3 levelled, 26 room, home currently features 4 large bedrooms, each with their own character, all with charming views looking over the homestead and property. The private library and formal dining rooms can also easily be converted into more bedrooms. The large top level family room has the option to create 2 more bedrooms as well. The lower level has a well-appointed store room and wine cellar. An adjacent casual dining area and sun room provide sunny Northwest panoramic views of the scenic tree-studded landscape. This quality property is ideally positioned to take advantage of the breathtaking, uninterrupted views whilst enjoying a peaceful, productive, rural life. External features include a generous double garage and workshop, as well as two additional single garages. With large parts of the home and water supply being restored, a feature of the property is the original underground water tank, vaulted with convict bricks. This collects rain water and supplies the main house, a similar design of which can be seen at the old Bathurst Hospital site. Many original features remain, including the stable block with a tack room and fourteen stalls, cobbled floors and hay racks built with mud mortar and pegged joinery. In addition to the 2 Grooms’ quarters on either end of the stables, the property also has two separate three bedroom cottages, perfect for an astute investor or for the extended family. This rare and unique property would make a unique reception venue, bed and breakfast accommodation or the perfect family home. Alloway Bank is a quality, unique property that should not be overlooked.
