Once part of a much larger property this 3 acre portion of the original Wright property is nestled in a picturesque setting on the banks of the Blackwood River at Wright’s Bridge. Included with the property, situated approximately 11 kilometres south west of Balingup, is the fully renovated and restored “Bridge House” cottage.
Built in 1905 by the Wright family, early settlers of the area, the cottage retains the charm of its era, along with recently added and nicely integrated modern fittings.
It comprises 2 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, dining, bathroom, laundry/storeroom and toilet.
Just a short walk through beautiful shady gardens is timber framed and weatherboard clad guesthouse, with 3 large bedrooms, large bathroom including toilet, sitting room and a meal’s area.
Previously a school building that has been enlarged and renovated by the current owners, the guesthouse is styled to match the charm and era of the “Bridge House”, while also featuring many modern benefits.“Bridge House” has timber decked verandahs on 3 sides, while the guesthouse has timbered decked verandahs on 2 sides and a decked balcony with timber balustrade, accessible by french doors from the bedroom on the western side, the side overlooking the Blackwood River.
Both dwellings are set in the vibrant reticulated gardens that feature a large array of flowering plants and assorted old and recently planted trees, along with more recent additions such as garden statues and furnishings.
Much of the remaining area of gently undulating property has been planted to a range of trees that could have future commercial potential.
A roofed 92,000 litre concrete tank and bore equipped with and electric pump cater for the overall water needs of the homes and property, while a 7m x 3.6m shed provides cover for general items of equipment. Unique items of furniture situated within the guesthouse and most items of garden statues and furniture are available by negotiation with the sellers.
