Alloway Bank combines the best of history and rural life, just a seven kilometre drive from Bathurst central business district. The homestead and cottages form an estate set in leafy gardens on a 40-acre rural property with expansive views over gently undulating farmland.
Two hundred years ago, Captain John Piper was granted 2000 acres, which he named Alloway Bank after a village in his native Scotland, birthplace of poet Robert Burns. Piper finished the stables by 1829, and now the grooms’ quarters have been transformed into a comfortable, contemporary two-bedroom cottage that sleeps four adults, with separate lounge, bathroom, kitchen and sunny deck with ramp access. The Suttors built a new homestead 150 years ago, in 1872.
