Set on two thirds of an acre with room for a tennis court, this historic, 100 year old home in the old part of Bungendore will appeal to those wanting a large family home, professional rooms or even an antique shop as in days gone by. The rendered stone walls are about fifty centimetres thick, which along with the high ceilings make the house cool and comfortable in the summer. Ducted gas heating, two fireplaces and double glazed windows make it warm and toasty in winter.

The front door opens on to a boldly painted hallway, off this there is a beautiful dining room with french doors opening onto the front verandah and opposite, a formal sitting room with a fireplace. Throughout the house the original ironbark and kauri pine floor boards have been lovingly restored and polished, the home is painted in a traditional and appealing palette, the colours accentuating the original pelmets, architraves and architectural features.

The huge master bedroom has enormous appeal with two big north facing windows overlooking a private yard, beautiful polished floors and a sun-room off it that would make a lovely nursery, study or dressing room. With another 3 or 4 bedrooms (you decide) and two large bathrooms, the house is ideally suited to a large family, or entertaining vistors. Light also fills the large family room as this room has been fitted with floor to ceiling comfort glass glazed doors which open onto a secluded and private rear garden. The new kitchen whilst only recently renovated has the old style country feel and is fitted with all modern conveniences and plenty of storage for those that like to entertain.

This home is filled with ambience and potential – potential to be run as a guest house, work from home set up or even professional rooms. The grounds are private and level, there is even room for a pool or pony, plenty of off street parking as well as garaging for two vehicles. The original nineteenth century slab sided stable is a charming and useful building. This and the old timber barn beside it really adds to the obvious charm of the home and surrounding established gardens. It even has its own well!

Enjoy the convenience of being able to walk to the local cafes, the park, shops and Bungendore’s fabulous preschool and primary school. Live in a thriving town that still feels like a little town whilst being only 8 minutes from the defense HQ, 17 minutes from Queanbeyan and an easy 30 minutes from the CBD.

This is a unique property full of history and character with scope to do more with it. The current owners have embarked upon a thoughtful renovation, the result being a charming home – now it it your chance to take it one step further and enjoy it just as they have.
