This house, a couple of street's away from us in Stirling is for sale. It's called St. Mark's & was built in 1910 as a Hills summer house for a family living down in Adelaide. The young Owners have certainly eschewed the fusty, musty look that still often goes with period houses - thank goodness!
No country kitchen look here - very streamlined & sophisticated, although Miss Millie would need a little more bench space.
Built of local sandstone, the house is simple in design, & I love the turret.
The front entrance hall is stunning & the use of colour here very brave, but gosh they've pulled it off. The intricate plaster work on the ceiling is wonderful & the leadlight panels around the door just glorious.
A more subtle use of colour in the living rooms.
The main bedroom was once the formal sitting room complete with bay window alcove & has fabulous views over the garden. Initially not really a fan of that particular wall colour, it's actually grown on me as I've prepared this post. The turret room is directly overhead.
The bay window offers a sunny spot off the main bedroom to look out into the garden. 
A little girl's bedroom - pretty in pink.
Navy, red & white for a boy's room - although I'm pretty sure my guys would have been begging me to flick the chandelier!
Functional guest room with fireplace.
A side entrance hallway again using the dramatic surprise element of red with contrasting white.
The house sits on approx. 4,000 sq. metres & has a swimming pool & outdoor entertaining area tucked around the side.
Lovely garden aspect leading up to the pool area.
The lovely sunny pool area.
