Step back in time and explore a piece of living history! 🏚️🏆

A Historic Homestead in South Australia's Kalangadoo has been brought back to its former Victorian-era glory by owners Wendy and Gary Kilsby, restoring it to its original charm!

When Wendy Kilsby first arrived in 2008, the home that was once a grand and iconic fixture in the local area was outdated and worn and in dire need of attention. “It was very rundown,” Wendy says. “We had to strip all the wallpapers and start afresh, plaster the walls, then put new wallpaper lining in.”

While it’s been updated and brought into the 21st century, the historic home still maintains its Victorian roots, with features such as the original Baltic pine flooring as well as the lovely bay windows, dressed in Wendy’s favourite pieces in the home: silk curtains.

While Wendy and Gary have certainly been kept busy they now wish to slow down and take a well-deserved trip to places such as France, England and Scotland — where much of the inspiration for this grand Australian country home originated.
