Expertly crafted for the Burcher family in the early 20th century and named after Mrs Burcher's English hometown, the north-facing property has regularly featured in the society pages of the Brisbane Courier newspaper in the 1920s and '30s. 

Surrounded by professionally-landscaped gardens, the home showcases a magnificent traditional facade, a covered wrap-around verandah and ornate latticework. The property is also made undeniably refined by original hoop pine floors, lofty ceilings, VJ walls, plantation shutters and decorative breezeways.

On its upper level, a generous formal lounge room punctuated by an original marble fireplace adjoins a collection of light-filled living areas. A covered rear deck overlooks picturesque gardens below. Downstairs, a spacious open-plan living and dining area forms the heart of the residence. Capturing exceptional natural light, this travertine-tiled central space adjoins a large gourmet kitchen displaying a huge breakfast bar, premium Smeg appliances and ample cupboard storage. 

There is also a dedicated study/potential fifth bedroom, a full bathroom and a versatile rumpus area, plus a covered patio with plentiful space for hosting relaxed al fresco gatherings. Utterly idyllic, a large fully-fenced grassed rear yard is framed by mature gardens that create a fabulous sense of privacy. You will also find flourishing vegetable gardens, fruit trees, a chicken pen, a firepit area, a children's cubby house and a sandpit with a slide. Additionally, a cosy garden room can double as a studio, potting shed or gym.

Spilling out onto the home's verandah, an ensuited master suite encompassing a built-in robe is on the upper level. Three additional bedrooms are also on this level; one is ensuited and has a private sitting room.

Complete with a dual carport and abundant off-street parking for extra cars, the property also includes an internal laundry, an upper-level powder room, excellent storage, an instant gas hot water system, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, Crimsafe flyscreens and a 20,000-litre rainwater tank featuring a pump.
