The grandeur of ‘Thornbury’
OCCUPYING a presence that cannot be denied, ‘Thornbury’ (circa 1900) at 244 Herries Street, Newtown is a grand, north-facing estate situated on 4088sq m and framed by immaculately presented landscaped grounds with a sought-after functioning bore.
Boasting more than 45 metres of road frontage, this family character residence includes a separate guesthouse/studio, threevehicle garaging, a 10m x 7m three-bay shed with highclearance door, an in-ground pool, poolside entertainment gazebo and a championship tennis court with lights.
The property’s gorgeous gardens are watered by bore (with an electric submersible pump) or by the three tanks holding around 11,000 gallons.
The home has multiple formal and informal living and dining areas, a colonial-style kitchen with granite benchtops and soft-close drawers.
The master suite features a fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite; while soaring high ceilings, polished floorboards and floor-length bay windows perfectly complement the aesthetics of the home.
Air-conditioning and fireplaces will ensure comfort all year round, and you’ll love the spacious fully lined studio that is plumbed and has a phone line connected.
A testament to the longevity of a Queenslander, more than 40 years of thoughtful planning and maintenance has rewarded the passionate owners with a spectacular lifestyle property showcasing exquisite traditional touches and modern updates.
Placing romanticism to one side, incredibly rare is the opportunity to secure more than an acre of residential land on the fringe of the CBD.
The home is offered for sale now (or at auction) by sellers who have committed to downsizing. For more information please contact Anne Pohlner – 0419 796 759 from Ray White Toowoomba.
