Oozing character and integrity of yesteryear. Privately tucked behind Country gates and a resplendent hedge. Beautifully maintained and improved with age, this C1880 home is set in its splendid garden of some 2300m2 of terraced lawns, mature deciduous trees and cottage gardens, defined by elegant stone walls.

Inside the original charm has been maintained, whilst creature comforts have been added. Consisting of 3 bedrooms, large main with ensuite, studio/family room, elegant dining with cozy open fire, lounge warmed by slow combustion heating and gorgeous eat-in kitchen, complete with walk in pantry, gas range and delightful outlooks.

A system of 7 “Heat bank” radiant heaters provides efficient, consistent heat throughout the home, whilst thick stone walls, new insulation and shady deciduous trees, provide protection from summer heat.
Over the years previous owners have extended the home, continuing the high ceilings and thick stone walls. With scope for further additions and improvements if desired.

Shaded on 3 sides by its glorious verandah, there will always be a pleasant spot to sit and contemplate the world.

Vehicles are accommodated by an expansive carport, whilst a newly built shed with concrete floor and power provides excellent storage and workshop space. A series of new rainwater tanks allows storage of rainwater as a supplementary means of watering the domestic orchard and veggie patch.

Located with easy access to schools, freeway and the “Villages” of Aldgate, Stirling and Bridgewater, this property represents a truly magnificent and rare opportunity to own a slice of Adelaide Hills history.
