The Sandstone House

The Sandstone House sits above the street behind a clipped hedge, its lower walls cut from the same honey-coloured stone that runs through the headlands below. Inside, the rooms are generous and high, with the original pressed-metal ceilings, timber sash windows and a sandstone fireplace in the front sitting room.

The living areas open to a paved terrace at the back of the house, where a frangipani shades a long table and the view runs down through the angophoras to the harbour. It is a family home with room for guests, and a garden that has been looked after for a long time.
