Ardenlee was built at the end of the Gold Rush era around 1868. It is believed that a member of the Stone family was the original owner.
In the early 1960's the property was sold to the church. The Patrician nuns lived in the house. A very "sixties" school room and dormitories was squeezed into the land behind the property. Here the nuns taught and trained teachers for the local catholic schools.
Marian spotted Patrician House, as it was then named in 2008. It had been empty for over a year. She saw the potential in the tired old house and it was purchased in February of that year.
Marian has skilfully incorporated the best decorative features of the era in terms of beautiful period wall papers, ornate ceiling roses, classic lighting and wide Victorian cornices with their distinctive deep gutters and detailed paintwork.
