Guildford VIC 3451

A drive down a country road with ancient gums and rolling pastures leads you to this private and quiet four-bedroom stone home that sits perfectly within its surrounding two-titled 29.95-acre (approx) environment. The pretty town of Guildford offers the Delmenico's Hotel, the Guildford General Store, a Post Office, a sporting reserve, and a short drive to Castlemaine and Daylesford for additional retail, restaurants and other amenities, including the Steiner School.

Set back from the street, a long driveway leads past established olive trees and fenced paddocks. The stone home with its wrap-around verandah overlooking the pretty countryside sits quietly and private, yet for the majestic songs of birds. The floorplan features entry into the open plan living with dining and the kitchen. The space is highlighted by the blend of stone and rendered walls, slate flooring (featured throughout the home) and a high timber-clad vaulted ceiling with beams. The living space has a solid wood heater, a wood box (filled from the carport), a split system and external access to the back garden. The kitchen, with its pretty view over the front garden, provides slate benchtops, period timber cupboards, an freestanding electric cooktop with an oven, a freestanding wood combustion stove (with wetback), and the bench allows for bar-style seating.

A hallway leads to the four spacious bedrooms with external access, large windows, ceiling fans, and timber-clad raked ceilings. The fourth bedroom makes for an ideal home office. A central bathroom has a shower over a bath, a toilet and a vanity. A large laundry has storage, external access and a second toilet. Design details include large timber windows that frame the surrounding private bush landscape, providing a connection with nature and an integrated solar system. This property is connected to the power grid, on mains water, has a septic tank and bottled gas. An old train carriage provides additional guest accommodation or the ideal studio space.
