'Freida' is an historic Australian farm homestead. The property is named after the original owner, local pioneer midwife, Freida Hicks, who cared for women and babies across the Bellinger Valley in the late 1800s.
The farmhouse is typical of its era, is cedar clad and wrapped by long verandas. It has 4 double bedrooms with high ceilings, all with french doors which open out on to the verandahs.
‘Freida' is very spacious and accommodates family gatherings and special occasions beautifully. She has a large country kitchen which is well stocked for entertaining. It has a 5 burner gas stove and oven and central bench for hanging out catching up with the cook.
The wood fire is the heart of the living area and the clawsfoot bath is a favourite with all.
Set on 10 acres, there are orchards and rambling, bird-filled gardens to wander through and enjoy.
We also from time to time we open and offer our family’s two bedroom garden apartment to guests. This tasteful conversion of a farm workspace sits below the western end of the main farmhouse. North facing, the apartment receives beautiful winter sun in the living area. A wood fire is also the heart of the space. Local hardwood features throughout the apartment and the floors are polished concrete. There are lovely views out to the garden from every room and the front terrace is a great space to relax and enjoy the birdlife and beautiful natural surrounds. Feel free to ask about this space.
