Spacious and stunning grand home

Built in 1887 for George Talbot, Richmond’s first mayor who emigrated from Dorset, this gracious, historic home with its high gabled roofs, fretwork, wide verandahs, French doors and double-hung sash windows, reflects the English architecture of the period. One of Richmond’s original homes, Talbot House was renamed Dorset House, when the property changed owners.

Solidly constructed of native timbers, including Kauri, Matai and Totara, the substantial 340 square metre, two level, five-seven bedroom home combines newly painted white bargeboards with timber joinery and black decramastic roof tiles over slate. Wisteria and rose-framed verandahs, extending around three walls, are bordered by gardens and clipped buxus hedges.

Surrounded by 2,016 square metres of park-like lawns, an outdoor dining courtyard and glorious landscaped gardens and trees, the property is private sunny and sheltered. There are 84 square metres of garaging, including a remote controlled double garage and two single garages.

The house has been fully restored, redecorated and painted by successive owners and there has been substantial renovation by the current owners, with care taken to preserve its character and classic charm.

They have added a substantial in-ground pool, replaced and renovated kitchen and bathrooms, insulated all exterior walls, and added some double glazing.

The spacious kitchen has quality fittings and appliances. The original library has been converted to a formal dining room, with double doors accessing the open-plan family dining room and kitchen. All sash windows were restored by the previous owner and are in excellent working condition.

Gas fires in the formal living room and family room combine with an extra- large, fully-compliant log burner, in the family dining room to provide additional warmth, when required. As well, there is gas central heating, with outlet points throughout. The house is wired for Broadband and Sky TV. There are superb feature lights, as well as recessed and directional lighting.

Resene paints, used throughout the interior, include subtle tones throughout the house. There are full-length quality curtains. Natural toned carpet, with thick underlay, is fitted in the entrance hall, guest bedroom, stairs, upper landing and all bedrooms. There are mellow matai floorboards throughout the remainder of the house, with the exception of the rear entrance hall, cloak room and laundry, which are paved with terracotta ceramic floor tiles. Doors throughout are Kauri or Totara.
