Having received extensive renovations between 2008 and now, the time has come for the current owners to sell. This three bedroom has hardwood frame, floors and weatherboard with two bedrooms upstairs and a third bedroom downstairs ideal for guests or teenagers. With polished timber floors, high ceilings, timber sash windows and a new covered deck overlooking the Bellingen Valley. It has character not found in modern homes and is ready for you to move in.

Repton was settled in the late 1800′s when it was home to a pub, general store and post office, whilst today it is a lovely quiet village just 15 minutes drive from Coffs Harbour or Bellingen and 10 minutes drive to pristine, often deserted beaches. Go surfing at patrolled north beach, go beach fishing at Tuckers rock or enjoy all the amenity of the Bellingen River just 200 m away.

Of course, we arrive to the white picket fence and step across the small covered front verandah into the sunroom (enclosed verandah) and down the hall to the lovely open plan family/dining/kitchen area (13x5m). The kitchen features timber slab bench tops with timber cupboards, original timber shelves, a classic St George electric oven and cooktop as well as a double stainless steel sink. The living room features some original leadlight windows and both the living and the dining area enjoy direct access through old French doors to the covered back deck and sweeping views of the Bellingen Valley with eastern seaboard to Urunga and beyond.

The bathroom is central and offers shower, small vanity and dual flush toilet, while both upstairs bedrooms enjoy polished timber floors, high ceilings and lovely garden views. Downstairs we find the third bedroom/guestroom with an additional living area/TV room and direct access to the low maintenance, well drained back yard. Or you may prefer to make this area the master bedroom suite and with the laundry adjacent it could easily become a generous ensuite bathroom.

Hunter St in Repton is a no through road with only 10 houses that are 90% owner occupied. It’s a quiet and friendly neighbourhood/street with a lovely relaxing feel that is an easy drive, there are plenty of beaches and the Bellingen River providing a vast variety of water activities including fishing, swimming, water skiing, surfing, sailing, canoeing and more.

The gardens here are well established and low maintenance and include two mature orange trees. Together with a lemon and mandarin tree, There’s a double carport for off street parking and the trouble you’re likely to have living here is that you won’t want to go out. The elevated position of this home means that it enjoys cool summer breezes and river glimpses from a number of places. In winter snuggle up around the slow combustion fire and forget about the rest of the world as you enjoy your very own heritage home, yes….the real deal.
