Known as ‘Ellerslie’, the home was designed by renowned architect John Beswicke and built in 1891. An exquisite renovation has sensitively restored and updated a collection of impressive living spaces with beautifully preserved period features including stained glass windows, high ceilings, opulent fireplaces and refined timber and parquetry floors.
