2222m2. Classic stone home that offers versatile and adaptive living with self contained section. Many period features including high ceilings, fireplaces and a cellar. In a great location overlooking the river and near the main street shops.
LAND: 2222m2 (over 1/2 acre). Sitting on the front porch, overlooking the river from this elevated position on the fringe of town, you will realise that this property has a special relaxed feel about it, yet it is a very simple stroll to the town s hub in the main street. On entering the property, the concrete driveway has a hedge to one side and tiered gardens on the other, making full use of the front grounds. These gardens include a nice selection of fruit trees, easy care plants and a lawned section. Beyond the home, the land rises in elevation creating a magnificent vista over and beyond the town, river and countryside.
RESIDENCE: The original construction of the stone home dates back over 100 years. Since then a later extension increased its living space and, with the addition of the self contained / optional master suite, this home is unique and quite special. Stepping inside from the concreted front porch, which is underneath a bullnose verandah, the central corridor has 10 ceilings and provides access to two large bedrooms, one of which has an open fireplace, with both bedrooms having being part of the original home. The continuing theme of high ceilings with a ceiling rose also feature in the lounge, which has a split system unit and a slow combustion heater built into the open fire place. The kitchen has a built-in pantry, fan forced gas oven, gas stove top and the richly coloured, timber benchtops contrast nicely with the brightly coloured floor tiles that flow through the home. A utility / sunroom is a tasteful extension to the rear of the home. Providing either separate living quarters, main accommodation area or guest suite is a section adjoining the home via an enclosed breezeway. Comprising a bedroom, kitchenette with meals area and a bathroom, this area is very versatile. The home has classic front and side verandahs and a cellar which can be accessed either by ground level or from the front porch.
