Rich in history for an affordable price

Built in the late 1920s by the Forrester family as a town residence, the house was constructed on about 5423 square metres, along the style of the Californian bungalow.

At the time, this type of house was very unusual for the area.

The property was acquired by the government during World War II and was utilised as a convalescent hospital.

A concrete step etched with AUST. FLD. AMBULANCE as well as the names and rank of some who were stationed here, still remain today.

The first impression of Balline is of a grand house, constructed with a beautiful mix of sandstone colours, elegant window panes and double French doors.

Central to the front is the large doorway that leads through the huge hallway that extends nearly all the way to the back of the house.

This exquisite four-bedroom, one-bathroom home has been tastefully restored using both period and modern fixtures.

Improvements include new electrical wiring, insulation, ducted air-conditioning, new carpets and paint, a large bathroom and country-style kitchen.

Perfectly placed at the rear is a generous patio, complete with ceiling fans and a refreshing below ground saltwater pool.

The wow factor continues outside with impressive stone walls, lush reticulated lawns and gardens, a feature fountain, established mango and citrus trees and a huge Moreton Bay fig.

From there it's just a short walk to the double car garage and 18.3 metre x 12.2m shed or man cave.

The shed has two mezzanine storage areas, a sliding gantry, separate shower/laundry/toilet room, two large sliding doors, a workshop area and a loading ramp.

Water catchment from these massive roof areas and bore and mains water is stored in two tanks, comprising a 110,000 litre capacity.

Balline House is centrally located in historic Northampton, just a couple of hundred metres from the shops and a Catholic primary school.

This is a remarkable opportunity to purchase a little piece of the past, with literally nothing left to do.

At this very reasonable price, you will need to be quick to secure this gem of a property.
