'Malunnah'
‘Malunnah’was built in 1868 by well-known 19th century writer and artist Louisa Anne Meredith and her husband Charles. Charles served as Colonial Treasurer and Minister for Lands and Works and was responsible for the first bridge over the Prosser River in 1866.
The Heritage-Listed house is built of local stone and has a gabled roof currently of corrugated iron with evidence of the original shingles still visible. The front porch is supported by Oyster Bay pine. Some of Louisa’s trees and shrubs are still growing in the pretty cottage garden.
The property spans an expansive 2.89 acres approx. and overlooks the sparkling Prosser River.
The spacious house has many fascinating features including vaulted ceilings, some in baltic pine, split board walls and ceiling in ‘the Nursery’ and sandstone rubble fireplace in the kitchen.
At the rear of the house is an undercover verandah, separate laundry and bungalow with shower and toilet.
Being just a short walk from cafes, beach and shops this delightful property offers so much.
