Chance to own a piece of history in East Toowoomba

THIS handsome residence in East Toowoomba would be equally as comfortable sited in Toorak.

The property known as ‘Foxgloves’ was originally built in the 1930s on land that was part of the ‘Haddington’ estate.

The first owners were the Critchley family and they named their beautiful home ‘Ellenglaze’.

On the sale in 1959 to Mr W. E. Wildman, this property remained untouched until a new owner Simon Kibble purchased the abode in 1988.

With the assistance of skilled architect (and brother) Anthony Kibble, he undertook extensive renovations including a major two storey extension to the east.

The current owner acquired the home in 2006 and further renovation and considerable improvements enhanced the property now offered for sale.

Set on almost 2500sq m, the home is very close to the Toowoomba Anglican School and Fairholme College.

There is a full-size lit tennis court and heated in-ground pool within the fully fenced grounds.

The home itself has immense charm and character including crows ash and parquetry flooring, higher ceilings, spacious bedrooms, three distinct living areas and an attractive formal dining room.

The fireplace and ducted gas heating will take care of the Toowoomba chills and you’ll love the modern kitchen with European appliances and the convenience of the oversize double garage with drive-through access.

There is extensive exterior tiling at the rear including a covered outdoor entertainment area overlooking the pool and court.

The location of this attractive home in the heart of the traditional East Toowoomba area is considered absolutely prime.
