Cheviot’ is a classic beauty revealing an original Federation era residence.
The 2 storey weatherboard residence sits graciously behind a cypress hedge and is framed by a wisteria covered verandah among 3,290sqm of captivating gardens scented with roses and canopied by Japanese maples, elms and liquid ambers.
Before entering the 28-square home, one is drawn to the facade’s period hallmarks such as double-gabling, box and bay windows, leadlight and turned timber.
A spacious and elegant foyer leads to the formal sitting and dining rooms, both with open fireplaces.
Natural light floods the kitchen and family meals area with access to an inviting elevated deck. A combustion oven is set in a redbrick hob and a butler’s pantry accesses the dining room.
Also downstairs is the main bedroom with ofp and bay window, a guest bedroom, office and family bathroom.
Upstairs are two large bedrooms that share a quietly stylish bathroom with bespoke vanity, and a large common room with access to a balcony is blessed with a leafy outlook over the rear garden towards Mt Macedon.
Modern conveniences include double ovens, built in microwave, dishwasher, intercom, central vacuum system, and natural gas ducted heating.
There is a magical two-storey cubby house, chicken coop, wood shed and a three-bay garage that blends seamlessly with the home. A bore, tanks and town water supports a healthy and productive vegetable garden and raspberries, plum and apple trees also contribute to the table.
All of the town’s main amenities including the railway station, cafe precinct, shops and primary schools are within walking distance.
