An expansive nature reserve loved by local families, Stockade Hill offers plenty of open space for children to play and dogs to enjoy, as well as a shaded playground area, ample grassed areas for picnics and a charming heritage rotunda.

The home is well positioned to make the most of this location, with picturesque park views from one of the bedrooms as well as the living space, dining room and sunroom.

The property's own landscaped backyard offers another tranquil option for those who enjoy time amongst nature, with the secluded space and the lush front garden filled with an abundance of established trees, shrubs and plants including liquid amber, jacaranda and pencil pine trees, a stunning silky oak, Chinese elm, fire wheel tree and rose bushes as well as various natives including flourishing bottlebrush.

Colorbond fencing ensures the rear year is safe and secure for children and pets to explore, while a bricked and paved alfresco area provides the ideal spot to soak up the serenity.

Built in 1958 with a classic brick and weatherboard faade, the home has an elevated aspect to accommodate the gently sloping nature of the block, which creates extensive under-house storage and features covered front and rear verandahs where you can sit back and take in the views.

A good-sized footprint provides multiple living spaces within the house, with a traditional layout built around a central living hub with bedrooms on either side.

The front door opens onto a large, carpeted lounge room flooded with natural light streaming through the huge windows that stretch almost from the floor to the ceiling.

A timber sliding door opens through to the formal dining room for intimate gatherings, while the rear open plan kitchen offers everything you need to cater for family meals or dinner parties with a Westinghouse freestanding electric oven and cooktop and plenty of laminate bench space for preparation.

Ample overhead and underbench cupboards cater for your storage needs while there is also a built-in pantry in one corner.

The home has three good-sized bedrooms, with two at one end of the lounge room while the third offers potential guest accommodation, accessible via a versatile sunroom or study off the kitchen. This configuration lends itself to creating a separate space for visitors or a teenager's retreat, complete with its own living area or study/home office space.

The bedrooms include a combination of either fitted or freestanding wardrobes, as well as carpeted flooring, window furnishings and antique-style pendant lights.

The home also has an accessible bathroom with handrails for added safety and security especially for older homeowners, while a separate toilet is located off the back entrance/mud room.

Patiently waiting for new owners to renovate and update the interior to their own tastes, this home offers a solid foundation with plenty of space for families or those who love to have guests come to stay.

The property is ideally located in the heart of the sought-after suburb of East Maitland close to schools, shops and sporting facilities including the local aquatic centre, bowling club and golf course, with the shopping and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills shopping centre less than a five-minute drive away offering a diverse mix of retail, employment and social opportunities.

The surrounding business precinct offers a variety of professional and essential services and community facilities including a large library. This part of East Maitland is also home to a thriving health services precinct with a range of allied health professionals, doctors, specialists and a large private hospital, while the new state-of-the-art Maitland Hospital in the nearby suburb of Metford is set to open in early 2022.

Proximity to the New England Highway provides easy access to local East Maitland amenities as well as the revitalised Maitland city centre and the cafes, art galleries and boutiques of Morpeth, while the attractions of Newcastle, the vineyards and Lake Macquarie are just a short drive away.
