9,000 s.f. interior fit-out of new office space and renovation of 5,000 s.f. of lab and testing space.
IF you’ve always longed to be king of your own castle but also want to stay in Adelaide, here’s your chance — all that’s missing is a moat.
A two-storey home on Gorge Rd at Paracombe in the Adelaide Hills, designed to look like a castle and with a fitout to match, has hit the market for the first time.
Vendor April Ling, who started building the home in 2000 and completed it 10 years later, said the style was chosen to match the location.
“We built it from scratch. When we bought it, it was just a vacant piece of land,” she said.
“I thought being in the lower Adelaide Hills, it suited the environment and using the local stone, it blended in well.”
The property has five bedrooms in the main building set over two floors, as well as two kitchens, a home theatre with a bar, a billiard room, a conservatory and a balcony, as well as a detached self-contained apartment.
It is covered in features traditional to castles, including gargoyles, ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows and battlements, and also has modern features such as ducted airconditioning and vacuuming, modern appliances and built-in TVs.
The home also has curtains in the dining room and living room made from fabric from a unique source.
“I ordered fabric from a place in England. They didn’t have any stock of what I wanted (but) they called me back and said if I don’t mind they have fabric already cut and put aside for Princess Diana,” Ms Ling said.
“It’s a really unique fabric, they didn’t know if that would put me off ... but I was a huge fan and said I would love to have it.”
Ms Ling says the home’s location in the outer northeastern suburbs feels like the countryside but is still close to the city.
“It is quite close, it is only 20km to the city, it is far enough away to enjoy the country lifestyle without being too far away,” she said.
“A lot of people have asked about the moat, maybe the new owners can put one in.”
Toop & Toop sales consultant Troy Tyndall, who is selling the property, said he has never seen a home like it in South Australia.
“It is only built in 2000 but it feels like it is 400 years old,” he said.
“The whole house is automated, there’s a ‘good night’ button next to the bed that turns off all of the lights, sets the alarm, and secures it.
“There’s a huge amount of marble and mahogany, the detail in the timberwork is crazy.”
While built as a residence, Mr Tyndall said the home could have several different uses.
“It has a commercial-grade kitchen with a dumbwaiter and a standard kitchen, you could run a business if you wanted to ... you could run a bed and breakfast, or a wine-tasting place,” he said.
“When you drive through those gates, you are back in Macbeth’s day. It is incredible.”

The office scheme is organised with managers’ offices around the perimeter and support and visiting staff located centrally in open workstations with satellite meeting rooms arranged at the centre. The walls of the offices were glazed to allow daylight to penetrate the centre of the workplace and give a sense of transparency to the office’s organisation. The design of the shared spaces such as the reception, meeting rooms and lunchrooms was treated specially to enhance the staff workplace experience.

St Andrew's Cathedral (also known as St Andrew's Anglican Cathedral) is a cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney in the Anglican Church of Australia. The cathedral is the seat of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of New South Wales (currently the Most Reverend Kanishka Raffel since 28 May 2021). The position of Dean of Sydney has been vacant since Archbishop Raffel's consecration and installation as Archbishop on 28 May 2021.
The St Andrew's has an Evangelical ministry, holding services every day, including a weekly healing service. There is a cathedral choir of men and boys who sing during term time, as well as a company of bell ringers. The notable pipe organ has been restored and is regularly used for recitals and concerts.
Designed primarily by Edmund Blacket on foundations laid by James Hume, the cathedral was built from 1837 to 1868, and was ready for services and consecrated in 1868, making it the oldest cathedral in Australia.
St Andrew's is one of the city's finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture. Joan Kerr described the cathedral as "a perfect example of the colonial desire to reproduce England in Australia in the mid nineteenth century."
The cathedral is located at 1400 George Street in the Sydney central business district, in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. St Andrew's is owned by Anglican Church Property Trust. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 3 September 2004; is listed on the City of Sydney local government heritage register; and is listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate
History:
Early construction 1811-c. 1874
Macquarie and Greenway:
A cathedral was planned by Governor Lachlan Macquarie to be an impressive building in the centre of Sydney within a large square which would contain major civic buildings. He foresaw that Sydney would grow into a large city requiring a large cathedral. With the architect Francis Greenway, who had been transported to Sydney for forgery, Macquarie planned a church 61-metre (200 ft) square and probably with the seating and galleries facing inward from three sides. The foundation stone was laid with full ceremony on 31 August 1819. Only a few foundations were laid, however, before the plan was abandoned. It was later moved to accommodate development under Governor Bourke to make George Street straight rather than interrupted by a large square. Macquarie's plans were abandoned with the appointment of Commissioner Bigge to the colony and St James' was constructed in place of the proposed cathedral as a church for Sydney.
Macquarie's vision has since been realised with the construction of the present cathedral and later Sydney Town Hall.
Broughton and Hume
W. M. Cowper, Dean 1858–1902
William Grant Broughton, first Bishop of Sydney
Bishop William Grant Broughton, who was consecrated as a bishop in 1836, had a new foundation stone laid in 1837. The plans, prepared by the architect James Hume, were of much more modest proportions and were for a traditional cruciform church in the Gothic style. The designs, dating from the early phase of Gothic Revival architecture, did not show a great expertise in the handling of the particular architectural vocabulary. Only one notable section was completed, the façade of the south transept. However, the foundations were laid and some of the walls were constructed up to a height of about 5 metres (15 ft).
Restoration of the cathedral: 1968-present[:
By 1970 a more comprehensive plan addressing maintenance was required as problems had accelerated. The architects Anchor Murray and Woolley were engaged to prepare a report which was presented to the cathedral chapter in February 1972.
A synopsis of the report sets the basis for the work that took place over 15 years. The report addressed the structure, fabric, fixed furnishings and interior elements. Ancher Mortlock and Woolley reported again in 1979. All work was carried out in conjunction with the National Trust and the government architect.
Expenditure on restoration totalled approximately 1.2 million dollars. No further work took place until 1990 when a detailed maintenance study was prepared by Partridge and Davies, architects. This study detailed a long term maintenance program addressing small scale works on a long term basis rather than large scale projects. Work has since been carried out by craftsmen and tradespeople on the basis of funds available. It is hoped a long term stonework program be developed over the next year which is urgently required.
In 1999 work to the building reversed the orientation and reinstated the surviving Edmund Blacket fitout and removed all of the 20th-century fitout.
The cathedral continues to play a significant role in the community and maintain a role in the ceremonial life of the people of New South Wales, one of the most recent being the state funeral of Charles Perkins, Aboriginal politician and activist and each year several thousand tourists visit. Numerous volunteers offer assistance for activities and administration, including guides who give tours of the cathedral. Increasingly St Andrew's draws its members from the wider metropolitan area. The principal use of the church continues to be for church services - ordinary and special services for the community and organisations and "occasional" services - baptisms, weddings and funerals. It is important to note that the cathedral and chapter house hold a collection of furniture, fixtures, artefacts and memorials that reflect the history of the building and the personalities and some items from churches throughout the world.
The Reverend Boak Jobbins (1947–2012) played a prominent role in St Andrew's Cathedral restoration. He was committed to the project and the stonemasons even carved a likeness of his head into the stonework on the roof.
The Wraith of Odin raced every year from 1952 to 1956 in the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race that leaves Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day. She competed against many famous yachts including Solo and Kurrewa IV.
The ketch Wraith of Odin was built at Tuncurry, NSW, by Alf Jahnsen and Leo Royan over the period 1950-51. She has been fully restored and sails regularly from her base in Brisbane.

IF you’ve always longed to be king of your own castle but also want to stay in Adelaide, here’s your chance — all that’s missing is a moat.
A two-storey home on Gorge Rd at Paracombe in the Adelaide Hills, designed to look like a castle and with a fitout to match, has hit the market for the first time.
Vendor April Ling, who started building the home in 2000 and completed it 10 years later, said the style was chosen to match the location.
“We built it from scratch. When we bought it, it was just a vacant piece of land,” she said.
“I thought being in the lower Adelaide Hills, it suited the environment and using the local stone, it blended in well.”
The property has five bedrooms in the main building set over two floors, as well as two kitchens, a home theatre with a bar, a billiard room, a conservatory and a balcony, as well as a detached self-contained apartment.
It is covered in features traditional to castles, including gargoyles, ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows and battlements, and also has modern features such as ducted airconditioning and vacuuming, modern appliances and built-in TVs.
The home also has curtains in the dining room and living room made from fabric from a unique source.
“I ordered fabric from a place in England. They didn’t have any stock of what I wanted (but) they called me back and said if I don’t mind they have fabric already cut and put aside for Princess Diana,” Ms Ling said.
“It’s a really unique fabric, they didn’t know if that would put me off ... but I was a huge fan and said I would love to have it.”
Ms Ling says the home’s location in the outer northeastern suburbs feels like the countryside but is still close to the city.
“It is quite close, it is only 20km to the city, it is far enough away to enjoy the country lifestyle without being too far away,” she said.
“A lot of people have asked about the moat, maybe the new owners can put one in.”
Toop & Toop sales consultant Troy Tyndall, who is selling the property, said he has never seen a home like it in South Australia.
“It is only built in 2000 but it feels like it is 400 years old,” he said.
“The whole house is automated, there’s a ‘good night’ button next to the bed that turns off all of the lights, sets the alarm, and secures it.
“There’s a huge amount of marble and mahogany, the detail in the timberwork is crazy.”
While built as a residence, Mr Tyndall said the home could have several different uses.
“It has a commercial-grade kitchen with a dumbwaiter and a standard kitchen, you could run a business if you wanted to ... you could run a bed and breakfast, or a wine-tasting place,” he said.
“When you drive through those gates, you are back in Macbeth’s day. It is incredible.”

The base building interior provided a unique set of design challenges - feature historic columns throughout each floor, high ceilings and various beam heights, all lovingly restored with elaborate cornices. New bulkheads and lowered suspended ceilings to accommodate modern services, added to the complex ceiling structure. The buildings large windows and its "doughnut" shape (around a central atrium) were all challenges in creating a functional modern office. The two fundamental design principals we adopted were - this beautiful old building has enough character on her own - let’s keep the interior low key, light and clean. The second was to create a modern functional workspace that reflected Maersk’s Scandinavian roots.
