Agnes Banks – Federation farmhouse and trees

Attractively sited on the crest of the eastern embankment of the Nepean River and set back from Castlereagh Road, the farmhouse demonstrates the continued tradition of a rural economy in the locality. The cottage is a fine example of a large early twentieth century single storey weatherboard farmhouse nestled within a mature garden setting including Palms, Pines and Eucalypts. The intact planting scheme to the residence adds to the total concept of a Federation garden design. image
