Originally known as Coldicutt House, the house was built by English settlers William and Sarah Coldicutt who developed a smallholding here - at the time the location was considered to be on the outskirts of the city. Photo: Bayleys

The house was built in the Georgian style, with a strong sense of symmetry. Photo: Bayleys
