Fingal TAS 7214

Tasmania is renowned for its heritage homes, and here is one of Fingal's finest examples. Set on nearly 3 hectares (7.3 acres) and originally built in the late 19th century, "Villers Bretonneux" is a home worthy of its prominent location and outlook. With its classically wide verandas, this stately home offers the grandeur of a four-bedroom (and two bathroom) homestead with the comfort of modern appointments.

The decor and outlook from the four bedrooms are scenes from a by-gone era with fireplaces, large sash windows and beautiful garden scenes. Two of the bedrooms have been updated with built-in bunk bed/desk stations in preparation for lifetime memories to be formed by the resident or visiting younger generation. There is an office and separate library and the new kitchen has been appointed to encourage meals befitting the majesty of the home. With multiple family zones, including the main family room having seven metre (23 foot) vaulted ceilings, this home represents many opportunities for large families, as a guest house or even a convention centre. The original part of the home has under-floor insulation, while the newer section has under-floor heating in the slab. For your comfort, there are three wood heaters and each bedroom has its own reverse cycle air conditioning unit.

Outside you will find the large covered entertaining area, a greenhouse (that produces tomatoes all year-round), an extensive fenced veggie garden, vehicle housing and a variety of garden and implement sheds. With a variety of fruit and beautiful shady ornamental trees around the home, this will be a home your family and friends will enjoy sharing with you time and again.
