Stunning 1873 homestead near Crookwell priced at just $850,000

In the historic town of Binda - just outside of Crookwell - ‘The Old Rectory’ is looking for new owners who want to start a new chapter.

Number 107 Queen Street, Binda, is a landmark residence, originally built in 1873. This newly-renovated home began life as a rectory and church hall, used and owned by the Anglican diocese of the area.

Sitting on 1.8 acres of land, this now four-bedroom, two-bathroom homestead is dotted with incredible features from its 1870s build.

The slow combustion wood heaters, high ceilings, timber floors and exposed original stonework are, according to Ray White Goulburn real estate agent Justin Gay, "enchanting".

“One of my favourite things about the home is its original features," Justin says.

“It’s also had a fantastic reno done by the current owners. They’ve done a great job making this place what it is now.”

Towards the back of the home is The Old Rectory's lounge room. This large living area has a slow combustion wood fireplace and views over the back patio.

The formal dining room is found adjacent to the lounge room, featuring another slow combustion fireplace.

The kitchen is big and features stainless steel appliances, and ample bench and storage space. The kitchen is also north-facing and a tribute to the stunning mix of the old and new throughout the home.

Bedrooms can be found toward the front of the property, with the master featuring an ensuite and a large walk-in robe.

Upstairs, the gorgeous attic space has been transformed and could be used as a rumpus room or a fifth bedroom. The attic was created in the void in the roof cavity.

Justin says the home is in the centre of 360-degree sweeping views of the countryside.

“The home sits on a huge, flat and elevated block meaning you can see almost across the block and get some good views of the surrounding areas,” he says.

Out the back of the homestead is a large patio and a barbecue area alongside a well-fenced yard that’s perfect for kids and pets.

At the side of the property is the old church hall. Featuring a kitchenette, the options for using the hall as a commercial event space are limitless.

The Old Rectory will be auctioned at 11am on Friday 28 October 2022.
