21.01.2022 Just over a year ago we found a preloved Quaker barn. Exactly a year ago, today, we began the long and tedious job of dismantling and transporting it from Chirnside Park to Nutfield. We could not have done this without the invaluable assistance of Peter Loftus who has working tirelessly to rebuild the barn, and SO much more over the past 12 months! Look out for lots more anniversary shots of Pipit Hill’s creation!

21.01.2022 Distant view of the property and barn, from further west on Chapel Road, looking north east. Love this beautiful view.
