RESIDENCE: The original house, built in 1906, was extended several times and now includes 3 bedrooms and a study or 4th bedroom, main bathroom, second shower and toilet adjacent to the self-contained extension, kitchen, laundry, dining room and formal lounge. From the gravel driveway, up the stairs to the front veranda the main entrance leads into a wide passage with formal lounge to the left and study to the right. The high ceiling and polished floor boards are typical of a seasoned country residence. The lounge has a combustion heater adding natural warmth and a cosy feeling in winter and for comfort year round a reverse cycle split system. From the lounge into the dining room which features gold leaves on the ceiling and a functional open fireplace. The study has built-in book shelves on two sides as well as a functional open fireplace. Further down the main passage to the right is bedroom number 2 with dark floorboards, followed by bedroom number 3 with plenty of storage space behind the white curtains. The renovated bathroom has underfloor heating, a bath, shower, toilet and single vanity unit. The kitchen / meals area has a dark slate floor; the kitchen cupboard doors are made of solid Blackwood; quality kitchen appliances are provided including a Miele oven with warming drawer, a Bosch gas cooktop and a Miele dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a small area ideal for informal meals, it is heated with a gas space heater and has direct access to the patio. From the kitchen you step into the self-contained wing with laundry, separate shower, basin and toilet and a large bedroom with walk-in robe and kitchen sink/food preparation area, originally designed as a granny flat. The sliding doors from this bedroom lead to a shade covered, paved patio area. The side veranda provides another great spot for relaxing with a cup of tea or a glass of wine and a book.
IMPROVEMENTS: A 7.2kw solar system means you probably won t have to pay for any electricity; in fact the current owners receive a cheque at the end of the year. The original apple shed provides storage and space for tools; the pit in the single garage is ideal for someone doing their own car maintenance. A wood shed provides space to store enough firewood for the two open fires and the combustion heater. A further shed/single garage with concrete floor is at the end of the driveway. There is an Envirocycle septic system which also helps to water part of the garden.
