This property has plenty of charm and charisma, together with privacy and position, just 400m from supermarket, bottle shop and take-away food. Upstairs offers 2 bedrooms, study, bathroom, toilet, open-plan living/dining/kitchen, polished timber floors, high ceilings and more. Downstairs offers fully self-contained guest accommodation, council approved for commercial use, large hot tub and beautifully private courtyard.

Enjoying an elevated position on the north side of Bellingen, it’s just a 1300m walk across the beautiful Bellinger River to the centre of Bellingen. This home is double brick rendered inside and out, there’s a single carport and more privacy than you often find on a residential block.

Let’s tour the upstairs first…you’ll step into the tiled entry/study area (4 x4.5m) with lots of glass for good light and lots of louvres for good cross flow ventilation. Then onto the polished timber floors of the open plan living/dining/kitchen area that flows through French doors to the semi-covered deck.

The kitchen offers reasonable bench, cupboard and drawer space, pantry, gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and double sink. This whole area also enjoys split system, reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fan and of course, those high ceilings mentioned earlier.

The main bedroom (4 x 4.5m) has polished timber floors, built-in robe, ceiling fan and French doors onto the covered verandah while bedroom 2 (3.5 x 4m) also enjoys polished timber floors and both ceiling fan. The bathroom offers claw foot bath, separate shower and timber vanity as well as feature, brass NSW Rail luggage shelves and the separate, dual flush toilet is adjacent with easy, close access from both bedrooms.

Downstairs now, we find the self contained guest accommodation which has council approval to operate as bed & breakfast, and has indeed provided a useful, additional income for the current owners. It’s fully carpeted and set up “studio style”, complete with kitchenette and bathroom, offering shower, toilet and small vanity.

Through the French doors you will find the very private courtyard with large, in-ground hot tub, a boon when guests are staying and a delight for you when they’re not.

Outside the garden is very well established with lots of mature trees, featuring a magnificent Leopard tree as the centrepiece. In fact when you’re in this home it can feel a little like you’re in a tree house.

The single carport is close to the house and the concrete driveway makes for an easy ascent from the road in all kinds of weather.

So, if you like the sound of this one………..
