Nestled amongst the rolling green hills of the picturesque area of Burnside is “Woodyche Homestead”, a large country residence which is surrounded by an acre of productive gardens and enjoys privacy from surrounding properties and the road.
Immediately upon entering the driveway, you are overcome with a feeling of timeless country ambience and with no neighbours to be seen, the property’s acre extends in your mind to way beyond the boundaries, thereby enhancing the feeling of space and seclusion.
The original home was constructed in the 1930′s and traces of the bygone era still linger in the home.
Wide jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, art deco light fittings and cosy separated living areas are just some of the features that still remain and exude comfort and character.
The home has been carefully extended and restored over the years, including enclosure of part of the verandahs to form more rooms and granite stone and cedar cladding to enhance the home’s appeal.
The formal covered entrance to the home welcomes you with an attractive stone and water feature and leads you into an large sitting room and further into the large country kitchen, complete with expansive bench tops, all the mod cons and a fully functioning Rayburn No 2 wood stove and oven.
Leading on from the large kitchen and dining area is the lounge room that enjoys views over rolling hills with direct access to the outside verandah through double French doors.
Two large bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, are included in the main residence as well as a third bedroom/sleepout (also having direct access to the main bathroom), a large sitting room, powder room, enormous laundry, store room and walk in pantry room.
The double garage has fully automated doors, insulation, power, windows and skirting boards, should you wish to convert it to extra accommodation or a big games room for the kids.
Wide verandahs wrap around the main residence and jarrah French doors provide direct access and light into the kitchen and lounge room, with views from peaceful seating locations.
Enjoy year round fresh fruit and veges from productive fruit trees and a semi netted vegetable garden.
A covered walkway leads you from the main house to a double storey cottage, which would provide ideal separate living quarters for extended family or guests.
The cottage which was previously approved for short term accommodation could provide potential income if rented out and comprises two bedrooms, a small lounge room and a bathroom/laundry downstairs and a large open kitchen/lounge room upstairs.
A large vine laden balcony leads out from the upstairs lounge room and provides sweeping views over the entire property.
This property really does provide every aspect of the Margaret River lifestyle: seclusion and space amidst rolling green fields, nestled in the heart of the wine growing region and only a few short kilometres to world class coastline and the conveniences of town.
