A real sense of enchantment envelopes you as you enter the property. To arrive here feels like coming home.
This lovingly maintained period home is full of love and charm. Built circa 1920 and with tranquil views of the Tamar River and gorgeous gardens which are a delight to meander through, you know that this property is not only a thing of beauty but also has a comfortable sense of familiarity.
The grounds are set on a generous 7451m2 (approx.) with trees over 60 years old, formal hedges and colorful plantings. Numerous outbuildings are scattered throughout from the wood shed to the wash house to the extra length double garage with workshop and 2 single carports.
Outdoor entertaining and enjoyment is assured with a paved courtyard which only adds to the appeal and provides a space to BBQ with friends and family. The wide verandah also offers a vast area to sit and watch the ever changing river and of course you can always find your favourite tree to have an afternoon snooze under.
The home oozes period features , high ceilings and skirting boards, open fire places, intricate fret work, rich and dark solid timber doors and leadlight windows. Not to mention quite possibly some amazing timber floors hiding underneath the carpet!
The layout comprises 4 good sized bedrooms (or 3 and a study) a formal living room, separate casual lounge room (or additional bedroom) and a sunny kitchen/dining room complete with large butler’s pantry and corner windows that overlook the lush gardens.
For those that require an ensuite, there is room to add one quite easily. There is also ample roof cavity providing scope for those that may wish to extend upwards. One can only imagine the outstanding vista from there! The exterior of the home has been freshly painted plus it’s been re wired and re plumbed also.
This picture perfect location is an easy half hour drive to Launceston and around 10 minutes to local shops, schools and amenities (although you will probably never want to leave here).
For those that enjoy the finer things from a by gone era and have always romanticized about owning a truly special piece of history, do not delay. We think you may just fall in love with Manningham.
