With loads of street appeal and architectural credibility, this is definitely a property to admire. The cottage at the front of 90 Gibraltar Street was originally built for the Anglican Church in circa 1875 and has been renovated throughout. There is a double bedroom with an ensuite, a nursery, a lounge with the original open fireplace and a dining room.
Cleverly linked to this Victorian cottage is a Fasham Johnson solar passive two bedroom extension of solid brick construction with raked ceilings, low wattage lighting and cedar framed picture windows. The open plan living room has a large slow combustion fire and a warm relaxed feel. Off this there is a north facing sunroom opening onto a large deck with pergola – just the place to sit and watch the fruit trees in the orchard blossom. To the southern end of the living room is a dining area adjacent to the well laid out galley style kitchen. The master bedroom has built-in robes, is spacious and has a large ensuite fitted with a corner bath and a separate shower. The forth bedroom also has a built-in robe and a lovely garden outlook.
The garden is a big part of the overall design here, all the rooms have garden views and it well established with loads of room for the kids and pets to run and play. The level block is a desirable acre, with rear access from a laneway at the back to the fully fenced 1/4 acre paddock housing three very happy sheep. To the front of the block, set back off the street amongst the landscaped garden is a double carport with a shed at the rear.
This is one of the unique properties that people wait so long for, offering a blend of architectural old and new giving the home character and comfort as well as a beautiful block for the whole family to enjoy.
