 The household contents of Pemberton Grange were sold in January 1838 and the house put up for letting, together with Waddon Cottage.A detailed description of the hose and outbuildings was provided in the published letting notice.It stated the 90 acres had been divided into six paddocks, and "most of which have been under cultivation" and "being well-supplied with water it is admirably adapted for a homestead for the reception of cattle, previously to their being driven to the Sydney Market".
