“Camellia Cottage” offers an enchanting lush garden setting, with hundreds of bulbs and plants, including iris, roses, lavender, rosemary, agapanthus and lilly pilly hedge. The half-acre terraced grounds are bordered by stonewalling and steps and there are mature trees such as Japanese maple, Manchurian pear, hazelnut, weeping cherry, ash, golden elm and birch. There is a berry patch with raspberry, blueberry, gooseberry and the mini orchard offers cherry, apple, apricot, nectarine, pear, plum and fig. A special feature in amongst the garden is the children’s stone cubby house – a ‘replica’ of the cottage. There are manicured lawn plateaus, brick paved paths and views to please a landscape artist, with a rich valley vista which gently rises to the Mount Barker Summit.

No need to worry about water – there is an excellent bore with extremely low salinity level (quoted at 168ppm and 4,000L/hr), plus approximately 30,000-gallons/120,000-litres for rainwater storage. There is an irrigation system (6 stages) with pop-up sprinklers on the lawn areas, and the remainder of the gardens have a combination of drippers and misters. The system can be run manually or fully automated, including rain sensors on top of the 5,000-litre bore tank which will cease an irrigation phase if more than 15mm of rain is detected.

Shedding has been taken care of with a modern 12m x 7.2m x 3.3m four-bay garage with concrete floor, light and three-phase power plus an electric hoist (capable of up to four tonne) for the home mechanic. There is also a 4.2kw solar power system for the property.

The cottage features classic stone work with quoined windows and intricate stained glass entrance door with surrounds. Originally a four room symmetrical cottage with wide verandah, now utilised as a two or three bedroom home with cosy lounge and an open fireplace, galley kitchen, meals area with a view of the grounds, plus separate laundry and bathroom. Other features include baltic timber and slate flooring, ornate ceiling roses and corning. There is also provision in place and plenty of scope to extend if required.

Located less than 10 minutes drive to Stirling, 5 minutes drive to Mylor, and less than 30 minutes drive to Adelaide CBD, “Camellia Cottage” in Bradbury is a truly desirable place to live.
