Nestled privately away from the street down a curved driveway is this special home. It is immediately evident as you arrive that the creation of this unique residence has been a labour of love for the original owner. Constructed from hand made mud bricks and with exquisite attention to detail, it exudes country charm with all of the comforts of urban living.
The hand-made Jarrah door which heralds the entrance to the home gives you a sneak peek of the quality and intriguing features which lie within. Glass flagons filled with coloured water form a unique light feature which dapples the entrance foyer with coloured light. Practical slate flooring features here and a large nook under the staircase provides useful storage.
To the right of the entry is one of the minor bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with a separate toilet. The foyer flows through to a large open dining area with French doors which lead to the elevated deck. A beautifully preserved original Metters No 2 stove sits in the corner of this generous space and provides warmth and quaint character. Rough hewn jarrah flooring and exposed beams feature here, as they do throughout much of the home, while the addition of recycled railway sleepers which frame the doorways add to the solidity and rustic charm of the home.
The kitchen is the hub of this space. It is light and bright and enjoys a pretty outlook over the rear garden. It features timber Oak benchtops, stylish white gloss laminate cupboards and stainless steel appliances.
The lounge room is adjacent to the dining room and features a slow combustion wood fire which ensures the home is kept cosy all winter. This space is large enough to also accommodate a study area or childrens play area if so desired. A door leads from this room over a decked pathway to the handy external laundry which provides handy extra storage if required and is big enough to service the largest of families.
The remaining three bedrooms and the family bathroom are located upstairs. Hand crafted hay bale walls accent the landing at the top of the stairs and are simply charming. These bedrooms all feature soaring pitched ceilings and timber feature beams. The main bedroom is spacious and clever design has allowed for several storage options. Ceiling fans keep the room cool in summer and large leadlight windows ensure that it is bathed in natural light.
The remaining two bedrooms are also generous in size and also eature ingenious storage solutions. They share a family bathroom with an oversized shower and a separate toilet.
Wander out from the dining area to the large elevated deck complete with shade sails. This spot is perfect to watch little ones playing in the cubby and sand pit that sit in the centre of the lawn area. Further down the gently sloping block is the studio. Constructed of the same hand crafted mud bricks with corrugated iron accents, this space would suit a myriad of uses. It has two separate rooms and the cutest of pot belly stoves. With the proximity of both sewer facilities and plumbing, the potential is there to easily convert the second room to an ensuite and walk in robe (STCA) and have a fully self-contained space should it be required.
The back garden also features a wood shed, separate outdoor toilet and chicken pen. Numerous fruit trees dot the gardens as well as raised vegie beds and easy care plantings.
A water tank ensure gardening here will be a pleasure.

Perfect for those seeking a relaxed yet supremely comfortable country lifestyle within 25 minutes of Midland, this gorgeous home must be on the top of your list.
