36 Barretts Road, Clapham, SA 5062

ORIGINAL 4 ROOMS BUILT CIRCA 1880s AS THE GATEKEEPERS HOUSE FOR THE NEW ADELAIDE-MELBOURNE RAILWAY LINE ~ HAS NOW BEEN EXTENDED TO CREATE A SUBSTANTIAL FAMILY HOME ON LARGE ALLOTMENT OF 1259sqm (approx).

The original 4 rooms still feature Baltic floor boards, slate and plaster ceilings plus an open fireplace. The property has been further extended over time creating 5 large bedrooms and 2 living rooms complimented by a character verandah with a Wisteria covered pergola and private courtyard with City and sea views ~ so picturesque.

We have been told an enterprising family that emigrated from Europe in the 1950s purchased the property which had a large land holding (a small farm) and over time subdivided some of the land into building allotments in Cole St.

Since that time the present owner has made significant improvements which include:
*New roofs (northern and eastern extensions)
*1.4kw solar system
*54,000L rainwater plumbed to the entire house
*Reticulated water to the back of the long land extension
*Retro light fittings
*New kitchen (15mths old) and appliances
*Numerous trees planted.

This is a truly rare opportunity to purchase a property with so much history that offers so many improvements on a very large allotment. A lot of interest is expected and this property will be sold prior to or at Auction on Saturday 30th August 2014 @ 11am.
