Haydon Hall is a landmark building in the heart of Murrurundi, with commercial hospitality, event, retail, gallery and boutique accommodation opportunities, offering a lifestyle and commercial future as substantial as the building itself.
Built in 1937, originally the Commercial Bank of Sydney, the building has been converted to the cultural, casual dining and event centre of town. Situated with New England Highway frontage, this is a high visibility property that attracts visitors and local custom.
Ground floor is a generous retail space (approx 72sqm) that has served as a retail art gallery and boutique event venue, with the rear a successful bistro - complete with full commercial kitchen. A magnificent outdoor terrace (approx 63sqm) with views to the picture perfect gardens that stretches to the Pages River completes the offering.
The residence is three-bedroom living with views to the surrounding ranges.
