An exceptional Grade II Listed Georgian Manor House with stunning secluded gardens and wooded grounds. DescriptionCaldrees Manor has a rich and fascinating history and bears the blue commemorative plaque to one of its more famous owners Sir Robert Herbert (1831-1905) Queensland's first (and youngest) premier. The impressive Grade II listed Manor House was mostly created circa 1800 around the nucleus of the former 16th or 17th century farmhouse. Later additions and alterations have resulted in a very fine and imposing period gem tucked away behind its boundary wall in the very heart of the village. The 19th century yellow gault brick facade incorporates a variety of parapets, gables, and bays with a grand columned entrance porch towards the north eastern end complete with acanthus capitals and bases. Whilst the rear elevation has a three-bay red brick range to the southwest (possibly 18th century) together with a gault brick section incorporating impressive double height bays which allow tremendous views over the gardens and grounds. Listed Grade II as being of historic and architectural interest, there are many fine period features, from intricate cornicing to fluted architraves, fireplaces (one with rococo detail), panelled doors and high ceilings.
