Family history AND a beautiful home!!!!

My family has a history with the
Hunter Valley
  
do you remember Ambrose and Bridget Rotton?
their Grandson, a few times removed,
Walter Rotton arrived in Sydney,
 via Tasmania, in 1821


He had quite a history
 which is a story for another time
 but he was one of the early settlers
 in a town called Maitland 
and he had a beautiful daughter
 named Jane (Granny Singleton) 
who in 1844 married a gentleman
 named John Singleton
John's father, Benjamin, was one of the first settlers
 in the beautiful Hunter Vally
 and in fact the town of Singleton still carries his name.


 SO


I was looking for somewhere to live in Singleton
after all it does have a lot of family history
and I found

 Hamilton Park here


Again, out of our price range at $799.000


it sits on 85 acres (and has horse yards Renee!)


the gardens are spacious


and the pool and it's surrounds


are big enough to cater for my entire family


You guessed it!



it's that red again


but in this instance they have carried the same
colour almost all the way through


with lots of white I don't think it is too heavy, do you?


even the bathroom


Although someone in the family obviously didn't want red!


I have that dressing table and at present I am wondering
if I will paint it white, yes...no?



I am not sure about the red carpet but heck I'm not going
to be that picky!


I really love this house it has that look of being there for 
a while, I love all the white and the red and most of my
furniture would fit in


Now all I need to do is win the lottery
 so we can have some money to live on


goodnight
