From the roadside, you’ll be forgiven for thinking the cottage seems quaint, however, enter through the front door and you’ll discover it’s far from quaint! This original character cottage with a huge contemporary extension at the rear boasts an enviable lifestyle.The country atmosphere is thick and addictive and only extends through the inviting home.
Privately located along a no-thru road and sitting on a sought after 7 acre parcel of land, ideal for horse enthusiasts or those looking for a small acreage lifestyle property.
A true beauty, this home features three large bedrooms, three bathrooms, two sizeable open plan living areas, plus a quaint sitting room. The floor plan is easily adaptable and the outlook from most windows is superb. The formal living area provides a wonderful separate children’s retreat, or cosy visitors lounge, complete tiled entrance and carpet floor lounge area. This area is independently temperature controlled via a new 8KW Daiken reverse cycle air-conditioner.
The immense open plan kitchen/living room at the rear of the home is impressive and quite surprisingly completely private from the front view of the home. The gabled ceiling and large windows provide plenty of natural light and the spacious kitchen will suit those who love to gather and share family time together. Grab the ingredients from the walk-in pantry, cook up a feast on the gas stove, then throw the pans in the dishwasher and serve up your culinary delights on the country mix of timber and laminate bench tops.
Take the chill off of the air with the 8.5KW reverse cycle air-conditioner and once the slow combustion fire is stoked and roaring switch on the ceiling fans to circulate the wood fire warmth. This is the real hub of the home and a place where memories are made.
Bedrooms two and three are located at the south western end of the home. Bedroom two with ceiling fan is double size and features a HUGE walk-in robe, whilst bedroom three enjoys a country outlook to the rear of the property. These bedrooms have easy access to two separate bathrooms, and the opportunity to turn bathroom two into an en-suite for bedroom two is an easy accomplishment. The master bedroom is located at the eastern end of the home and also benefits from a spacious, en-suite bathroom with corner spa.
Summertime just got fun! The 11mx8m self chlorinating, solar heated pool with rendered feature walls, and new glass panel fencing will be a favourite. Quite recently the pool sand filter was replaced, and a new pump installed to dramatically improve power consumption. And if electricity consumption weighs on your mind – your concerns will dispel at the discovery of the 6.75KW solar system with 27 panels.
Water supply is excellent with a 125,000 litre rain water tank. Stock and garden water supply is from a quality bore, there is also a dam and the sale includes a 7400 KL water license.
The elevated gazebo area at the rear of the home provides a wonderful platform to keep an eye on the horses, or enjoy a view of the well-established garden and grounds. Trees on the property include a mix of apple varieties, pear tree’s, mature olive trees, 9 Walnut trees and many more European and Australian varieties, including one huge 300 year old Gum tree.
