The original bluestone homestead is adjacent to the well known award winning Brooklands Heritage B&B. The second cottage is the previous workmans cottage that is in need of repairs and renovations to retain.

Other fixtures and fittings include 2 drawer dishwasher, butlers sink and combustion fan boosted wood fire.

The impressive conservatory

which was part of the extension, opens up through timber french doors to a large patio with jarrah timber beams from the original Victor Harbor Causeway and is covered by ancient Chinese wisteria. The slate in the conservatory is from the Willunga quarry and bluestone walls from the quarry on Brooklands Estate.

This living space has not only incredible views over the well established gardens but looks out over the sea.

The front formal sitting room with wood fire features original leadlight door and ornate ceilings.

There are four bedrooms in total, two bedrooms on each floor.

The main bedroom is downstairs with a new modern bathroom next door to act as an ensuite, but accessible for guests. If you would like to work from home there is a well-equipped office with plenty of space for storing books. The original wine cellar with slate floors will be the ideal place to store your favourite wines.
