Description

This house is steeped in history, it was the former Prince of Wales Hotel ( circa 1860) and the bluestone construction has stood the test of time. It is now a unique home with 2 living areas and 2 bedrooms in the main house. The studio is adjacent to main building, providing an ideal spot to let the creative juices flow. There is a separate self contained cottage which has B & B potential ( STCA). The bluestone provides natural insulation remaining cool in the summer and retains warmth in the winter. The kitchen features an Arga dual fuel stove, with gas hotplates and electric fan forced oven.
