As you wind your way down a secluded lane from Bilney Road, be prepared for a delightful surprise – the very special Cedar Rose Cottage. Set on approx 1078 sqm of land, surrounded by picturesque gardens, this exceptionally charming 1946 Western Red Cedar home is sure to impress. In the heart of Stirling, with no interruption of through traffic, this stunning property is just five minutes walk from the main street, which is so well known for its cafes, bookshops and alfresco dining.
North facing, the two storey home has up to four bedrooms. The main entry leads into a light-filled lounge room with western facing French doors and floor to ceiling windows that catch the warmth of the setting sun. A timber deck provides the perfect place for afternoon tea or the early evening G&T. Past the lounge room is a bedroom with fitted shelving and large window taking advantage of the garden views.
Walk through the lounge into the character laden timber kitchen and dining area with wooden floors. A large built-in slow combustion wood heater set in a chimney breast of stone recovered from an early cottage of the valley provides the warmth of the home. Additionally, there is ducted reverse cycle air conditioning zoned throughout the home, plus radiant eco panel heaters in all bedrooms.
Through a leadlight panel door, adjacent to the dining room, are a further two bedrooms both with cottage sash windows. The main bedroom also has a generous walk in robe. The bathroom, again with leadlight panel door and brass tapware is conveniently located next to these bedrooms, as well as an ample linen press.
On the other side of the kitchen and dining room is the library with bespoke fitted cabinets and fireplace complete with mantel. The wood and wrought iron spiral staircase leads to an upstairs bedroom with cathedral ceiling and marvellous views from the bay window. This bedroom has an east facing deck with beautiful views of the treetops and would make a great home office with separate entry if a 4th bedroom isn’t required.
Down exterior steps from this deck is the sparkling solar heated swimming pool with entertaining area and an attic workshop, which is cleverly designed above the double carport. And if this home hasn’t provided enough already, it also has 20 solar panels with a feed in tariff of $0.52 per kilowatt – pay a small electrical bill in the winter but in summer get a refund!
From the pool, through the sheltered courtyard barbeque area, is the beautiful terraced garden, designed in the style of Edna Walling, featuring camellias, roses, magnolias, maples, elms, box hedges, dappled shade and lush green undergrowth. On the lower level is a garden shed with a rainwater tank, veggie beds and a wicking bed.
The property is fully fenced making it ideal for those with dogs or young children. Recently announced as an NBN Business Fibre Zone, Stirling also has regular public transport to the city, Hahndorf and Mount Barker.
With the option of a long settlement, this really is a one-off opportunity to acquire an exquisite, much cherished property in the heart of Stirling.
