A rare opportunity to own a piece of history.

"Australia's internationally renowned poet, Adam Lindsay Gordon, lived in a cottage on this site between 1865-1866.

The current house, believed to have been built in 1916, incorporates 3 engraved bricks bearing the initials ALG from the rubble of the house occupied by Gordon.

Adam Lindsay Gordon, poet, horseman and politician (1833-1870) is the only Australian to receive the honour of having his bust placed in Poets' Corner in London's Westminster Abbey."
