Set high above the main street of Cowra and enjoying panoramic westerly views to the mountains, ‘Keswick House’ is an exceptional property.
Enter via original Cowra ‘kiln brick’ pathway to the wide and inviting verandah and the feeling you get right away is ‘established and solid!’ With floor-to-ceiling windows that act as access points from the study to the verandah, plus the main door way, the flow of indoor and outdoor access and space is effortless.
Central hallway with rooms running from it creates a feeling of yesteryear not repeated in the modern homes of today. Running from the front of the home to the back you can access the formal dining, lounge, study and morning room from the hallway right down to the sunroom at the rear of the home that captures all the midday sun.
The formal dining offers working original fireplace, soaring ceilings and access to the east-facing morning room that also has access to the garden and enormous picture window.
The formal dining room with access to the kitchen also, has richly painted walls, an original fireplace and soaring ceilings also. It is a room that captures the essence of ‘Keswick House’.
The study, guest bedroom and master bedroom with ensuite (and original box window seat with storage) located on the western side of the home could be combined to create a separate wing with access to the front verandah and garden.
Toward the rear of the house is the main bathroom, sunroom (with access to the garage via timber portico and original Cowra ‘kiln brick’ pathway to the double garaging) and more accommodation that would serve as either a teenage retreat, guest quarters or ‘home office’.
Along with the accommodation already provided on the entry level, there has been a very clever and sympathetic addition into the roofline of a further three bedrooms (all with built-ins) and another bathroom.
Other features include reverse cycle ducted air conditioning, spacious kitchen, slow combustion wood burner, original fan li
