Capital gains: Stables an added attraction to Queanbeyan house

A home owned by horse trainers for almost 70 years comes complete with original stables and a round yard.

The three-bedroom Queanbeyan house is on the market for the second time since it was built in 1949, and owner Karelle Sullivan says horses are very much part of the home’s history.

“My husband trained horses here and we bought it from a man who also trained horses so the facilities have been well utilised,” Karelle says.

The horses have long gone but the four stables provide a little bit of nostalgia and offer an abundance of storage for the next owners.

The house combines 1950s and 1970s architecture in a sturdy brick home that has a simple, no-fuss layout in keeping with the post-war style of the era.

For the astute renovator, there are plenty of features to hold on to; high ceilings, a fireplace and an inviting sunroom to name a few.

The home has a study, built-in robes, a neat country-style kitchen, landscaped gardens, a single garage and two carports.

No. 23 Cameron Road, Queanbeyan, is being auctioned on Saturday, July 2, through Ian McNamee & Partners Queanbeyan agents Larry Eckhoff and Elizabeth Da Pozzo. Price guide: $680,000+ Inspect: No open times scheduled.
