As you make your way into the home, the original Cypress timber floors, stained glass windows and open fireplaces are simply gorgeous. There's also a wonderful feeling of space and expansion.

Moving through the home, you’ll find the five bedrooms. The master bedroom comes with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while all bedrooms have open fireplaces and access to the homestead's wrap-around verandah.

A formal living area with an open wood fireplace and adjoining study is not far away.

The expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family area has reverse cycle air-conditioning and its own wood fireplace.

Moving outside, there’s a neat two-bedroom pool house with its own kitchenette, living area, bathroom with shower and toilet, ceiling fans and, in keeping with the charm of the main house, a wood fireplace.

If there’s a pool house, there has to be a pool! And this 15-metre-in-ground lap pool is a highlight of the warmer months.

In true 1800s style, the property has creek frontage.

“The home sits right on Murringo Creek, which is something I love about it. You also have verandah access from just about every bedroom so you can get up and relax in the sun," Nick says.
