Add CategoryWHETHER it’s a renovated cottage or a brick and tile house, Queenslanders love their real estate and talking about their homes. Stokehouse executive chef Richard Ousby talks about his.
FIRST HOME
“The first house we brought was in Stafford in 2011, it was $395,000, We negotiated the price unseen after my wife Kristy’s parents had been hunting for us. We were living in Sydney at the time and were planning our return home. We turned up to sign the purchase documents and see it for the first time. We loved the layout, the style and character of Queenslander-style houses and this one had it in spades.’’

“We love space so our dream home would be out west with big sweeping verandas with large rattan chairs placed along it to sit and sip a cuppa and watch the sun fall into the evening.’’
FANTASY HOME
“I was just in Port Douglas and I saw an island I would not mind getting my hands on.’’
