Craftsmen built, featuring superb timbers and classic designs, the owners didn’t compromise in the construction of this substantial home. From the carefully selected recycled bricks to the colonial, double cedar doors that open to the most outstanding views, this property is impressive. Its architecture is influenced by the Georgian period and special, original features have been included.
Set on over one hectare and just 10 minutes from Launceston’s CBD, the house is surrounded by natural bushland. Despite the abundant wildlife, the owners have created an imaginative and very beautiful garden with well-established trees and rare and unusual plants. Clipped box hedges, long curved garden borders, smaller, secluded spaces and several courtyards have been designed for interest and enjoyment, but it is the magnificent views of the Tamar River that provides the greatest inspiration.
This is a warm and inviting home which incorporates the principles of energy efficiency and passive solar design. It includes a number of living options, from large more formal areas to private and comfortable living rooms. There is a delightful, country style open kitchen featuring Tasmanian celery top and blackwood timbers and includes a wood heater. French doors open off the informal kitchen/living/dining area on to a walled courtyard. Two additional living rooms have open fireplaces; one would make a perfect dining room if desired. Both rooms have direct access to the full-length verandah that overlooks the river and mountains beyond. Another internal courtyard filters sun and light throughout the interior hallways that link the various sections of the house.
The parent’s retreat upstairs has two bedrooms and a large bathroom, with plenty of robes and again, stunning views. The second bedroom would make a fantastic walk-in wardrobe/dressing room.
Downstairs and in another wing there are three bedrooms (one used as an office), a second bathroom and separate toilet. There is a rear double garage with a covered walkway and a laundry. There is plenty of additional parking. The property also has a cellar, garden shed, a fenced veggie garden, an orchard and another small shed originally used for chooks.
