Case Study - Speedwell
Speedwell, situated in Kenthurst NSW is a historic cottage circa 1861 with the main house extended and renovated circa 1906. The new owners sought to extensively restore the property to its glory days with works to the main house, all of the out houses and barns, a full landscape redesign and a grand sandstone wall entrance with Stockworx timber gates and Mortice post and rail fencing.
Stockworx was chosen to complete all fencing works and gates. We have included a selection of photos that show a before after of the front entrance, including all timber gates, mortise post and rail fencing along with post and 3 rail fencing.
