Upon entry the hallway leads to two bedrooms and the living room with a third bedroom located toward the rear of the house. The kitchen and dining area adjoins the sunroom, living room and washing/bathroom facilities and has a very appealing view out to the established lawns, Claret ash and mature Golden Elm in the garden.

Iceberg Roses frame the properties sandstone frontage along with the verandah and there is ample off street parking with room for at least two cars.

Gumeracha History Wikipedia:
Gumeracha is one of South Australia's oldest settled areas. The first Europeans to explore and traverse through the district were Dr George Imlay and John Hill on 24 January 1838. In 1839, the 'South Australian Company' took up a parcel of land, on which the settlements of Gumeracha, Kenton Valley and Forreston were developed. The Company established a district headquarters and opened it up for sheep grazing.
In 1839, William Beavis Randell built his home, Tinmath, at Kenton Park and built a flour mill in the 1840s. The estate housed his large family, his workforce and their families. In 1846, Randell donated land and funds for a church, and the Salem Baptist Church was built - the oldest Baptist church still in use in South Australia. The surrounding area, meanwhile, had become an agricultural centre, and the Gumeracha Farmers' Society held annual shows.
In 1855, Randell allocated land for a township and by 1860 the town was laid out. Commercial businesses sprang up on the main street (Albert Street), and many fine buildings were erected, including the Post Office, Police Station & Court House (1864), Institute Hall, Town Hall (1909), a butter factory (1889), a school, a hospital, a coach-house, hotels, churches and business houses. Most of the buildings in use at this time still stand today. William Beavis Randell's son, William Richard Randell, would build the first River Murray Paddlesteamer in Gumeracha in 1852.
The region relies heavily on grazing, dairying, grape growing, orchards and market gardening.
