'Netherby House' – circa 1922 – the grandest home of its time and the grandest accommodation in Kempsey today. First built as a residence but later became a long-standing B&B, later the addition of a separate café. Located right on the banks of the Macleay River, in the center of Kempsey, you can make this your home, your business or both. This magnificent building is set among beautiful gardens and jacaranda trees with uninterrupted panoramic views of the sparkling Macleay River. This property has one of the best locations for guests with an easy walk across the bridge to the center of town. Plus this central location offers low-cost advertising as well - easily visible by southbound traffic over the town bridge and by anyone in the CBD looking back across the river. It's an eye catcher you just can't miss! Netherby House boasts a grand history of elegance and refined hospitality with all the modern comforts – over the years paying guests have been for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, retreats, business functions, B&B stays to travelers passing through or visiting our area for work, play or family. The uniqueness and grandeur of Netherby House offers you an opportunity like no other – you have the location, the history, the exquisite architecture and craftsmanship of a romantic era to build upon. - 3,966sqm river front - (circa 1922) home full of cedar - 3 Queen riverside rooms with direct access to the verandah - 2 garden view rooms - All 5 guest rooms have en-suites & 12 foot ceilings, split system air conditioning, TV points. - Magnificent main dining/lounge room + open fire + large bay windows. - Sunroom - Separate main bathroom. - Commercial kitchen inside main home - Underneath workers retreat - Separate café building - Expansive storage room underneath (and in roof) Over the last few years the owner had rented the rooms on a more permanent basis rather than as a B&B. The owner also chose therefore not to continue leasing out the café. Older age and the desire to get back closer to the children and grandchildren means the owner is now offering this historic icon to the next candle-holder. We wonder, will it be a B&B and thriving café once more? Will it be a permanent home? Will it be as it has been lately? A home with income attached? Can't wait to see who the universe blesses this icon upon next. We excitedly await to see what you do, and what you bring to Kempsey.
