The Manse

This spectacular house is the home of the Bishop of St John's Roman Catholic Cathedral at Maitland. It was built in the 1850s I believe and is faring better than the actual cathedral itself. I think the cathedral is undergoing extensive repairs at the moment.

It really is a spectacular home. Know what you mean about the heating bills Marnie. The cooling bills in summer would be quite high too I should imagine as it gets pretty warm in Maitland during the summer.
