Well known as one of Howick's best kept secrets this delightful circa 1890 colonial has been long admired and enthused over. Quiet, unassuming and well hidden from view by the rambling foliage that jealously guards its muse. Unlike many of its contemporaries 'Burford' has been perfectly sited for sunshine and privacy with glorious picture windows that frame snippets of the water and garden views. A working family home where the lawn and the verandahs meet for outdoor pursuits and two light filled sunrooms offer more room to play or rest on inclement days. No longer needed for the horses or hay, the stable/barn is a likely contender for restoration along with the homestead. Classified 'historical' to protect the heritage character and ensure its safe keeping in the future.
