LAND: 2,039m2. Beautiful large residential garden setting located in quiet Adelaide Hills township. The gardens comprise a wonderful blend of shady mature trees, native shrubs, lush green lawns, seasonal flowers and assorted fruit trees. The allotment is attractively laid out and begins with traditional cottage style rose garden and lawned sections. Bordering the well-fenced northern boundary is the native garden with a small vegetable garden also situated in this area. Throughout the grounds there are stone and concrete walkways and stone lined garden beds.
RESIDENCE: Royston Cottage was originally constructed in 1855 and has been complemented by tasteful extensions in later years. The attractive character of the home is established by the rendered brick and stone work construction and the smart metal tiled roof and is emphasised by the front verandah, with its matching white posts and ornamental lattice work. The lounge room, with its 9ft pressed tin ceiling, has a slow combustion heater set into the old, open fire place. The kitchen has both electric and old wood stoves and has been tastefully updated using contrasting colours. There is enough space to accommodate a couple of pantries and room enough for meals. The largest of the 3 bedrooms has its own den, quite separate to the study, and has direct access to the bathroom. The front bedroom features the pressed tin ceiling.
