Cairnsfoot, Heritage-listed Victorian villa in Turrella, Australia.

The two-story Victorian Italianate building features a gabled roof covered in slate tiles and stands at 18 Loftus Street in Turrella.

Edward Manicome Farleigh, an Irish immigrant who established a leather merchant firm, constructed this residence between 1880 and 1884 for his family.

The Department of Education transformed the villa into Loftus Street Special School in 1959, serving children with disabilities through specialized education programs.

The property includes original outbuildings and gardens with Norfolk Island pines and evergreen magnolias dating from its initial construction period.

The building retains its original garden setting from the 1880s, featuring documented elaborate designs photographed between 1943 and 1947.
