Judge's house

Here is the first house we were ever asked to restore.

A bit of history -
In 1906, the first judge of Rockhampton moved in to it. It was a 3-block title, with a gabled roof and the cooks quarters out the back, where the laundry is now.

The house was red brick, with full swooping verandahs all round and 60 foot pine trees in the front yard. Bay windows in the front of the house gave a wonderful view of the street.

Sometime in the 70's, a meat worker bought it as an investment and split the allotments down to the 3. He built his son's house on one side, took the gabled roof off and put a flat roof on. He also removed the bay windows and verandahs. He sold it on to an old couple, who lived in the property until 2005.

Every house has it's history, we just happen to know the history about this one, because the son still lives next door!

5 bedroom house

This is a big house! There was big changes done in each room, but, unfortunately, we only have a certain amount of space to show you the main features of the house.

Originally, this was a 4 bedroom house, but it has been changed to a 5 bedroom house by adding walls on one of the verandahs.

A wall was taken out of the middle part of the house, as you will see below, to make the kitchen/lounge/dining areas more to the 'open plan' style of living, which is very popular.
