Mayfield 62A Church Street
Kiandra c.1880 – The Old Rectory
Exuding a charisma you just don't get from modern homes, Kiandra, c.1880 will steal your heart. Built by the Anglican Church as the rectory for St Andrews, this outstanding Victorian property underwent a sympathetic restoration completed in 2016.
The home features 5-bedroom + study accommodation with impressive formal lounge and dining rooms off an original return verandah. Undoubtedly the most heart-warming room in the house, the lounge room is a showpiece of size and elegance with a coloured glass bay window, open fireplace and a spectacular plaster ceiling. Referred to as the ballroom, it's believed a previous owner of the home held dances for the local community in this grand space.
Sumptuous architectural details indicative of the period includes soaring 3.5m cedar lined ceilings, kauri pine floors, six fireplaces, picture rails and an amazing 13.4m long hallway featuring three corbelled archways.
Tasteful modern updates add comfort and convenience including a timber kitchen with 2100mm range, two bathrooms, air-conditioning to three of the bedrooms and the lounge room, two separate solar electricity systems and electrical and sewage upgrades.
The historic suburb of Mayfield is being rediscovered as a number of businesses and cafes move into the area. There are three major supermarkets on Maitland Road and good transport into and out of the city make Mayfield accessible including nearby Waratah train station and bus routes to the University and John Hunter Hospital.
