Goldicott stables are set in a large garden

Why Joanne Brozinski chose Shipwreck Coast

Goldicottstables.com.au Original residence and stables built in 1893. A two story sandstone stable, with a traditional form and a simple gable roof, is immediately north of the house. The stable had a hay loft in the upper story, accessed internally by narrow steps and externally through a large door. This was converted into a large window c1950. Other openings have been made in the upper story for window spaces when it was converted for use by the Fletcher Jones Factory cook and family as a residence. A stairwell clad in weatherboards added on the east side to provide safe access to the loft space which was converted to 3 bedrooms. Recent renovations have converted the middle bedroom by dividing it into two ensuites for the remaining two bedrooms. The back bedroom overlooks the flower garden, while the front bedroom overlooks the vegetable garden. You can see the train coming and going along the elevated track and railway bridge from the front bedroom. This bridge is the location of the Warrnambool wombat, just 1 minute walk away. The Kitchen has been modernised from the 50s to bring it into the current century, gas/electric stove and dishwasher have been added. The balance of the downstairs is open living and dining areas. The back door of the stables gives access to a courtyard that has been created for the exclusive use of our guests.
