Located on a quiet lane within the village of Capertee, but with only one neighbour (80m away) is this charming 3 bedroom home . On a half acre block, it boasts a perfect mix of original features with all the modern comforts - this is village living at it's best. On arrival you'll step into the substantial hallway, off which the largest bedroom is presently being used as a formal lounge, it measures approximately 5m x 6m and is timber lined with an ornamental original fireplace, and is in addition to the large family lounge room located towards the centre of the house. The house features 11ft ceilings and has a very light and airy feel. There are verandahs on three sides, with numerous doors opening onto them.
The two other bedrooms, both with built-in storage, are both large and easily accommodate a double bed. The rear bedroom adjoins an enclosed verandah which captures the morning sun and lends itself to a home office/study, or sewing/hobby room. The large family loungeroom has a woodburner and is semi-open to the kitchen/dining area. The generous 'U' shaped kitchen features plenty of bench space and storage, a gas cooker, and has a sliding door opening to the courtyard verandah and entertainment area. The adjoining dining area shares the same spacious feel and the area is tiled throughout.
The bathroom is very light, airy and spacious and has a full size bath, and a separate walk-in shower and vanity, there is a separate toilet.
The laundry is huge and houses the electric HWS.
Whilst there is mains power, NBN internet and 4G Telstra mobile coverage, the village of Capertee does not have town water. This property has abundant tank storage, with approx 40,000L connected to the house, and numerous other tanks both above and below ground connected to the many out buildings. There is a separate water supply connected to the garden taps which are conveniently placed around the yard.
Outside, you'll see the charming brickwork of the original Capertee Bakery, complete with oven doors. The bakery building offers two brick sheds, perfect for storage, these buildings and the original brick garage are joined by a huge covered entertainment area, around the side there are also the original stable sheds. All of these old buildings are in good condition and are still used for storage of equipment, tools etc. The original brick garage has a large single carport in front of it, and to the side towards the rear there is another extra wide carport.
The garden features a mix of established trees, flower beds and mature hedges - all the hard work has been done! The block is well fenced for dogs and is separated into three areas, the immediate house yard, and additional side yard with some orchard trees, near the wide carport, and further to the side is another separately fenced yard, so its easy to control dogs or supervise young children.
This property is located away from the highway in a quiet area and only really has one neighbour. The former Mudgee-Lithgow railway line is located about 80m away, this railway line is no longer used as a general railway line, but Airly Coal mine (5kms away) does use it as it's private rail loop connection - there may be 1 or two trains per day, operations are restricted to between dawn and dusk.
In short, this is a charming property in excellent condition with absolutely nothing needing doing to it and is worthy of inspection. Annual rates are approx. $560 per annum.
