One of Sandgate’s most charmingly restored and historic homes, this five-bedroom Victorian residence was built in 1885 in the Gothic style for prominent local businessman and politician, George Agnew. Fallowfield has an elevated location on 734sqm, and is brimming with grace.

Spanning three levels, the historic elegance of Fallowfield remains, while bringing contemporary style and modern conveniences for the most comfortable family living. Attention to heritage is assured, with polished timber floors, soaring 15ft ceilings, Victorian pressed metal work, VJ walls, working fireplace and beautiful plasterwork ceiling rose features. The lush, low maintenance gardens are complimented by the 15m saltwater lap pool, with the downstairs laundry/kitchenette making poolside entertaining a pleasure. There is street parking for five vehicles, and masses of secure storage, and a fully fenced garden with 5000L water tank.

The rooms’ windows and doors throw themselves open at every opportunity to capture the bay breezes, encompassing views across Moreton Bay. Entertaining is easy with the support of the kitchen/dining room, featuring Carrara marble benchtops, high end appliances, and plenty of storage and preparation space. The lounge room has Bay views and a working fireplace. The wide verandahs bring a sense of calm.

There are four bedrooms, one with ensuite, all with air-conditioning, an elegant family bathroom with clawfoot bath, and ducted airconditioning in main living areas.
