A piece of history

Historical ‘Perhamsford’ offers a glorious glimpse of the past.

CELEBRATED on the 2015 Heritage Bank calendar for its history and local government links, ‘Perhamsford’ sits high on Copps Hill on the outskirts of Pittsworth, just a short drive from all the convenience of Toowoomba.

Built in 1906, and with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside, this magnificent two-storey, double gable home offers generous family living in a quiet country location.

The original home makes up the upper floor.

Here you will find a large family kitchen which enjoys the morning sun through northern and eastern windows, a highlight of which is a stunning freestanding Falcon stove.

A beautiful north-facing lounge room features a stunning cast iron ceiling rose, bay window and French doors opening on to the wrap-around veranda - the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful views with a morning coffee or evening drink.

Also located on this level are three generous bedrooms, an office (or fourth bedroom), and family bathroom.

The character of the original home has been wonderfully preserved with a central hall catching the breeze, decorative fretwork, timber floors, bay windows, large double hung windows to the floor and wide verandas providing the warm family atmosphere so loved in this style of home.

Downstairs is a large family room with slow combustion stove that opens out to a lovely terrace and the beautiful garden beyond.

VJ walls, large double hung windows and bay windows continue the character from upstairs.

There are a further two bedrooms, spacious bathroom with separate toilet, and generous laundry and mud room on this level.

A large, two-bay garage gives secure car accommodation and internal access assures security and protection from the weather.

Set on a 3850sq m block with established low-maintenance gardens, this stunning home enjoys abundant water from 15,000 gallons of rainwater in addition to an equipped bore, and further storage space in a three-bay shed, and old buggy shed.

This beautiful historic home, on the outskirts of Pittsworth and only a half hour drive from Toowoomba, represents the rarest of purchasing opportunities.
