There aren’t many things in this world more soothing for the soul than surrounding yourself with nature. The colourful activity and beautiful song of the birds, the earthly and ever changing fragrance of the trees throughout the seasons, the stunning splash of colour from blooming flowers and the blissful shade of
garden room.
Seeking sanctuary in such an environment, for some, might be only enjoyed through visits to a National Park or community garden; but for the owners of this incredibly unique property, the pure Zen of nature is literally at your doorstep.
The properties charm comes partly from those gardens which surround the house and provide a hideaway feel, barely able to be spotted from the road and creating a stunning sensory experience just making your way to the front entrance. But then there is the charm derived from the character stone finish of the home, the large shady veranda and the welcoming country styling of the interior.
It’s a home that seems to give you a big, warm, old fashioned nanna hug as you step inside- and experiencing it in its full glory, fireplace roaring, home cooked meals wafting and mood lighting illuminated will make you never want to leave!
Stepping through the front door from the
veranda, you happen upon the formal lounge room where the wood fire takes pride of place, enhanced by the sweeping gabled ceilings and exposed beams; a true cottage feel. Step up to the glossy jarrah floorboards of the formal dining and family area, interconnecting with the homes devoted study which overlooks the incredible front gardens.
The first of the homes bedrooms are located in this section of the home, and is enough to warm any heart with its quaint window seat. A second room is a generous double size with its own private access out to the rear veranda.
At the heart of the home the recently updated and immaculately kept country kitchen lies, modern pot drawers, appliance hutch, double pantry, overhead display cabinets and upright oven and stove sit surrounded by cream cabinets and green/grey toned bench tops. It’s hard, as you stand in the kitchen, not to let your eyes be drawn out of the huge window which sits above the kitchen sink to absorb the lush green tiered garden paradise that lies beyond.
Likewise within the informal dining space which features slate flooring for a natural earthy feel that compliments the style of the home perfectly. A hallway leads away from the living areas, brushing past a linen closet as it goes.
The home is so deliciously cute, that even the toilet has character, with a wooden toilet seat and delightful kookaburra stained glass window above you. This character continues in the bathroom, where slate is a feature on both the floor and, uniquely, the splashbacks behind the character vanity and bath, creating an interesting and warm feature. A separate shower and the homely cream of the vanity completes the picture.
Stepping outside, a decking veranda runs along the entire length of the home, a perfect place for quiet contemplative breakfasts or hosting guests, that is, if you are not basking in sunshine out on the open paved courtyard surrounded by the gardens.
Beyond you, the yard stretches out, an eclectic mix of flowering bushes, established tall timber and a million other plants on multiple levels to create an enclosure of great beauty.
Bird houses attract friendly magpies and other lovely bird life who visit as you enjoy your morning cuppa.
In little tucked away sections of the gardens, small ponds, a greenhouse, hedging, lawns and even a garden shed can be found.
It’s easy to lose yourself here in the pure tranquility that the property offers.
Truly….beautiful!!
