The Saumarez Homestead in Armidale has been described as the heritage jewel of the New England region of NSW, and rightly so. It’s a late Victorian-Edwardian Mansion surrounded by formal gardens and a collection of farm buildings that date back to the 1830s. Tonight Graham takes a stroll through the home and the two hectares of English style garden, that includes a magnificent rose garden, picking garden and paddocks with trees to shade and beautify. The original charm of the homestead garden has been maintained with restorations and new areas created to make it one of the largest and most successful rural properties of the New England region.
