Travelled and lived overseas before returning to Launceston to bring up the ' kids.' Love Tasmania for its compactness, beautiful wild wilderness, sea / beach landscapes, our settlers convict / colonial past, fresh foods and cool climate wines...
Topiary Haven is situated 5 minutes drive from the Launceston CBD, The Launceston Cataract Gorge and Cliff Grounds and the lovely Tamar Valley wine region. Situated in an elevated position with views of the garden, leafy neighbourhood, city and mountains is part of the charm of inner West Launceston
Originally built for music rooms for two sisters to teach students music..
I wondered why the original lights in the property were all on the walls. Our octogenarian neighbour informed me of the history of Topiary Haven. The lights were on the walls for the piano, violin for their students to read the music. No doubt the sisters organized their violin and piano students to not be in the 'music rooms' at the same time.
The next owner of the properties was a 'canny bank manager,' who saw the $$$ and converted the music rooms into a self contained 'flat' for rent.
We bought the properties when the rear property was a self contained cottage 27A and the main residence number 27 was a owner's residence.
Over many years we have developed a garden which attracts the birds into our garden. Gutted 27A ( Topiary Haven Garden Gallery) when the kids eventually ' left home' & rebuilt for you in 2012!!
