Well known local artist and puppetmaker Claire Schofield and her husband are retiring from the Gallery, and offering their property “The Gnomery” for sale. Well-positioned on the New England Highway at Mt Marshall between Warwick and Allora, the 5 acre rural property offers many possibilities.
An artist or “crafty” person could make use of the studio and gallery which is already set up, with workshop area and plenty of storage, toilet and bathroom, and parking for many cars and buses. The building is set right back off the road, so is not at all noisy.
The other possibility is a granny flat. It only needs another small kitchen for this.
The home is a 1980′s original, with 4 bedrooms, main with ensuite and walk-through robe, the others have built-ins, 2 other bathrooms, a formal lounge with wood fire and air/con. The generous kitchen has timber cabinets with laminated benchtops and an island bench, a slow combustion stove as well as an upright gas stove, and opens out to a covered north-facing patio enclosed with insect screens.
The home could do with some updating.
A single lock-up garage with workshop, plus a smaller workshop, a storeroom, 2 separate carports, 2 garden sheds, vege gardens and lots of trees.
Water is not a problem:- 3 rainwater tanks with total capacity of 13,000 gallons, a pump, and a bore which is connected to the toilets.
Solar panels on the roof return electricity to the main grid, and there is a solar HWS.
Last but not least are the lovely panoramic views to the south and west of the property.
The asking price is a very realistic $299,500, as the vendors are ready to move.. The property will be Open for Inspection over the weekend of 23rd and 24th January.
