This architect designed property consists of a large family home at the front and a gorgeous cottage at the rear. The main house is totally private from the cottage, each with their own entrance. The whole site and some surrounding homes were originally the Sherwood croquet club, and the cottage was the club house. Set on a large 1/4 acre block in one of Brisbane's prestigious suburbs the homes have charm, style, space and a serene feel - a most livable property. It was Jennifer's parents home for many years and just couldn't be parted with. It's great to see so many families getting to enjoying this home.

There is a mezzanine feel to the space as it overlooks the lounge area with a nib wall. Screen is available for privacy, but when there alone it is lovely to leave open.

The Sherwood Arboretum covers an area of 15 hectares and contains approximately 1100 trees, representing approximately 250 species. The site features a number of botanical collections including riverine, dry rainforest, dry sclerophyll, fig avenue, freshwater wetlands, and the main attraction being a grand avenue of 72 kauri pines. Popular with families to use the free BBQ's, covered dining spaces and playground. Be sure to take some bread to feed the ducks. Entry to the arboretum is free. Dogs are permitted on leads. |
