This stunning English country-style two-bedroom home is set amongst 1.5 acres of parkland garden and overlooks the Tamar River, is located in the heart of the Tamar Valley and forms part of the wine route.
The house oozes charm and style and boasts quality fixtures and fittings – solid cedar doors, (some antique), antique fire surround, quality wool carpet, gorgeous light fittings in the dining, kitchen and lounge areas. These qualities are complemented by the use of beautiful quality antique furniture. However, if antiques are not your thing, this house could easily be styled for a more contemporary dcor.
The house consists of two huge bedrooms – one upstairs with small ensuite and the downstairs main bedroom has a large ensuite and a huge walk-in-robe. French doors lead out onto the verandah and the view. Next to the en-suite is a large WIR with space for loads of shoes.
There is an open plan lounge, centred around an open fireplace with a beautiful 1840s mantelpiece and large over mantle mirror. Off to the side of the lounge is the Billiard/piano area and dining/kitchen area. All areas have French doors leading out to verandah or outdoor dining area.
There is also an extra powder room downstairs near the kitchen.
The walk-in pantry is stunning with customised shelving and a utility area with power points for all your electrical goods sitting at waist height. Nothing has been overlooked. Enough room also for a side-by-side fridge and freezer.
Everywhere you look is quality carpets, sandstone paving, both inside and out, and beautiful Queensland Hoop Pine timber floors in the kitchen/dining.
Outside there is a verandah which extends the full length of the front of the house, and which overlooks the Tamar River and the mountains beyond. Off from the kitchen/dining is the patio/outdoor dining area and side garden. There are five sets of double French doors leading from the house to the outside.
The parkland garden is extensive and is made up of lots of secret walkways including a woodland of hellebores.
At the bottom of the garden is a Berry House (large area wired and netted), which houses lemons, cumquats, and table grapes.
There is a selection of fruit trees – Ladies in the Snow, Cox’s Pippin, Granny Smith, Golden delicious as well as a Nashi Pear, two other pears and several Hazelnut trees as well as a walnut tree.
Everywhere abounds with beautiful English plants – lavenders, peonies, maple trees, roses, Bluebells and Daffodils. This truly is a very special property, one not to be missed.
