…and in this picture-book perfect country cottage you will be able to turn dreams to reality. This eco-friendly mud-brick home and guest cottage nestles on 5 delightful acres and looks out over the surrounding countryside; rolling fields as far as the eye can see and yet only a few minutes to village services.

The attention to detail in the structure of this immaculately presented home is paramount with polished timber and stone flooring, reclaimed bricks featuring in the sitting room fireplace which houses a Jetmaster fire, exposed timber beams, solid timber kitchen fitments and a large timber deck overlooking the paddock and dam.

Imagine lazy days reading in the sunroom which extends along the length of the east side of the house shaded by vines or relaxing in the large sitting room with its views out over the deck and paddocks. This is a sleepy home to be enjoyed slowly with friends who enjoy the country life.

Upstairs there are two loft bedrooms -with terrific eaves storage and with views out over the countryside.

Downstairs the main living area features a cosy Yotul slow combustion wood fire – ideal for long winter evenings. The farmhouse kitchen has a working wood burning stove – perfect for long, slow cooking and a conventional electric hot plate and oven, dual drawer dishwasher and concealed microwave; the perfect blend of traditional and modern. The bathroom has just that right cottage feel with a claw-foot bath.

The completely self-contained guest cottage would be ideal as an occasional weekend let (when friends weren’t visiting) and straight out of a story-book, think Hansel and Gretel, with an upstairs loft bedroom, a galley kitchen and shower room; charming, quirky and just delightful for weekends or for weeks on end!

This unusual and secluded home is approached by a winding path through shady mature trees and shrubs with a sunny, sheltered courtyard garden to the north. There is a child’s cubby house which is straight from the pages of a Victorian children’s story book. On the more practical side – but equally important, there is a double carport, chook shed, verdant veggie gardens, orchard with apples, quince, nectarines, peaches, cherry and apricots trees, 2 paddocks – one with a dam, a woodshed and various outbuildings.
