Built in 1915 for the local pharmacist Mr R. J. Howard, this historic federation home sits handsomely atop a generous 1,764m2 block of established gardens and mature trees. As soon as you enter the front gates and see the hedged granite driveway you feel like you have taken a step back in time.
Upon entering the beautiful timber-lined hall with art nouveau fretwork you get a sense of all the retained original period features this home has to offer.
Howard House has undergone extensive renovations over the last four years and now combines contemporary elegance with modern practicality.
A new open plan kitchen, dining and living area opens out onto an al fresco deck through French doors, shaded by a glorious liquidamber tree. This light filled space makes you feel like you could be somewhere else completely, with views out to the western and northern New England Tablelands.
Three large bedrooms with wool carpet, French doors and two fireplaces as well as custom built in wardrobes in the master set this home up with comfort and style in mind. All three rooms have garden views from their windows and doors that give one the feeling of waking up in a country holiday house.
The recently polished floors and painted interiors give a lovely fresh feel to the home and the newly renovated bathroom with genuine French pedestal basin and walk-in travertine shower adds a touch of sophistication.
Year round comfort is assured with two reverse cycle air conditioners and an efficient woodburning heater.
Outdoors the home boasts three separate entertaining areas as well as established fruit trees including cherries, figs and grapes, a reglazed glasshouse and a magnificent mature linden tree that provides welcome shade throughout the summer months.
5 Torrington Street also features a separate studio with a covered carport, currently used to operate a small business. With power and its own gas hot water system it offers possibilities for a creative workspace, home office or other use.
With only a short walk to shops, schools and the town centre (350m to the main street, 500m to Woolworths, 750m to Great Central Hotel) and a short stroll to the showgrounds and the Australian Standing Stones National Celtic Monument, Howard House is your opportunity to enjoy an elegant lifestyle in a vibrant country town, and a rare chance to own a beautiful piece of Glen Innes history.
