Preston

PRESTON’s landmark Oakover Hall at 12 Stafford Street will be offered for sale for the first time in 53 years.

The six bedroom, double storey bluestone and brick home, completed in 1849 and owned by just four families, was built on a hilltop adjoining the Merri Creek (on an approximate 140 hectare estate which has since been subdivided and sold) and offers 360 degree views.

Original features of the National Trust protected mansion include interior arches dividing 12 main rooms, fireplaces, timber balustrades, and a leadlight window on the staircase landing.
