PAGE HOUSE - CIRCA 1900
This incredible property in South Grafton referred to as ‘Page House’ was built by Mr F.W.C Schaffer, for Sir Earle Page, next to his hospital ‘Clarence House’. Originally 19 Through Street, now #69, it is believed here, he carried out his private consultations.
Located on the Clarence River, the circa 1900 five-bedroom property was originally built by Dr Page as part of his medical precinct. Sir Earle Page was prime minister for 19 days in 1939. He became the 11th Prime Minister of Australia in 1939 after the death of Joseph Lyons and served his time in a caretaker role.
Page House remained in the same family for approximately 68 years when it was then sold by Mrs W.B Bailey-Tart (Sir Earle Page’s daughter). We now have the pleasure of selling this amazing Historic Home for the second time is history. This time representing the daughters of the second owners, who were heart-felt custodians for over 55 years.
The home was built at a time that cedar was in abundance in the Clarence Valley so you can only imagine the quality of timber that went into constructing such a magnificent abode. The weatherboard home still features an abundance of original pressed metal both internally and externally, 12ft ceilings, French doors to the wrought iron laced verandas, fanlight windows and picture rails.
Clarence River views are internally enjoyed from the rear of the home that was built well before flood control measures were put in place. In the last 125 years waters have entered the yard although never in the house.
Whether you are looking for a massive family home, a restoration project, a bed and breakfast venture (STCA) or even a commercial pursuit; Page House is ready for her third custodians. Priced for immediate sale.
