Harcourt VIC 3453

Are you looking for an idyllic country-style home, on a quiet country road, within a landscape of gumtrees, paddocks and rolling mountains in the distance? "Glenthorpe" is the quintessential double-fronted weatherboard Victorian home, with an Edwardian addition, positioned within 10 acres of landscape and only a short drive into Harcourt and Castlemaine.

Peppercorn trees surround the period home and feature a central hall leading to three bedrooms, one with an original fireplace before arriving at the rear of the house and the open plan kitchen with dining. The kitchen requires replacing. It does provide slate tiled flooring, a solid wood fire, a gas wall heater and adjoining this space is a generous bathroom with a claw foot bath, a shower, a toilet, a pedestal basin and a laundry with an additional toilet. The kitchen/ dining has exterior access to a large covered deck overlooking the back of the property. A spacious north-facing living room with a solid wood heater with a period surround and stained glass windows appears to be an added Edwardian addition to the house. Period details include high ceilings, raked ceilings, timber shiplap detailing on walls, ceilings and doors, double-hung windows, pressed metal exterior window hoods, and a bull nose front verandah.

Externally a sweeping driveway leads to a large carport with an adjoining workshop with power, additional shedding, water tanks, a dam, fenced paddocks and borrowed landscape of a neighbouring property.
