Manoir Francais
It's an absolute pleasure to be presenting this beautiful 2 storey rammed limestone home which faces due north & oozes the ambience of a private French Estate .
As history goes, the builders of the house engaged a shipwright and his apprentice to do all of the wood work in the home using recycled wood. The floors are all NSW blackbutt and came from country primary schools that were being demolished. The large exposed beams came from the Old Mains Road Dept:- from bridges and jetties.
The beautiful front door with its stained-glass windows came from a home being demolished in the Western Suburbs of Perth, the entry features a beautiful wooden staircase that came from the Howard Law Chambers when they renovated to install elevators into their premises. All of the rooms have picturesque views.
The ground floor features a beautiful air-conditioned well-equipped country kitchen, a 900mm 5 burner stove, with an amazing pantry. A dining room and a beautiful old fireplace surround that is 1870 English Mahogany. A set of French doors leads out to the courtyard.
