The property is fully secured with remote gates and is landscaped with care. The gardens feature a variety of fruit trees and the original Frangipani tree, adding to the home’s charm. The bore with a magnetic water softener, installed by the current owner, ensures that the gardens stay lush year-round, supported by a water tank that collects both bore and rainwater.

Located in the highly sought-after Newtown area, 'Gosford' is just a short walk from Ipswich Grammar School and both Silkstone and Ipswich Central State Schools. The Ipswich CBD is only a 5-minute drive away, and the property is close to all major transport options, making it an ideal location for families.

Rich in history, 'Gosford' was built by the Cumming family after they moved from Gosford, NSW, to Ipswich in the late 1800s. The home has witnessed generations of family life, from its origins as a working dairy farm to its current status as a cherished family residence. The original nameplate still adorns the front door, a testament to its enduring legacy.

This is more than just a home; it’s a piece of Ipswich’s history, ready for its next chapter. 'Gosford' offers a rare opportunity to own a heritage property that perfectly balances the elegance of the past with the conveniences of modern living.
