30 Trewhella Drive

Newham VIC 3442

At the rear of the house, used as the informal entry point, is a lovely bright sunroom with large timber windows that capture the afternoon sun. Through here is the living room, with high ceilings and a skylight and a wood fire that keeps the area cosy in winter. Along a short hallway is the original lounge room, which is spacious and light filled, with big windows on two sides offering lovely Northern garden views.
There is a large open fireplace in this room.

The kitchen is rustic and unpretentious, with a good amount of storage and bench space. There is a gas oven and cooktop and a dishwasher, as well as a very generous pantry.

The four bedrooms are located in the original farmhouse, which has a classic central hallway and bedrooms on both sides. The front two bedrooms have skylights. A brand spanking new bathroom, with smart, modern fixtures and fittings, has recently been installed in this section of the house. There is a second loo outside.

Throughout the house there is zoned electric ducted central heating and cooling.

Behind the main dwelling is a very sweet building that was the original dairy. With a concrete floor and timber lined vaulted ceiling and walls, it has electricity installed and would make a superb studio or home office. There is a useful storage area with lighting that is attached to this old dairy building.

This property has an astonishing amount of storage in a variety of sheds. The original barn, with power connected, is enormous and has three sections. The first is a machinery area, with concrete floor, the middle section has a wooden floor and the third area is open and can accommodate a minimum of three vehicles.

The second shed still displays the old original hand-sawn beams, and houses a tool shed with double wooden doors, an old stable now used as a dog-run, and a double-bay wood-shed.

There is a chook run and a dog-fenced garden adjacent to the house.

This property used to operate as a potato farm and has the fertile and famous Newham soil that plants thrive on. This is evident in the lush and beautiful garden, with its old and enormous rhododendrons, wisteria, hedges, floral beds and thick lawns.

There are four compact paddocks with stock troughs, and there is a very large bore that supplies water to the paddocks, all garden taps and the WCs. Two large water tanks capture rain from the various buildings.
With its elevated location, the views over the nearby countryside are quite lovely, and from the front of the property, the sweep across to Mt Macedon and Hanging Rock is jaw-dropping.

Newham has been named as an area of no further development, so chances to live in this sought after village will become increasingly rare. Fairview provides the opportunity to acquire a gorgeous piece Newham history that is also a comfortable and charming home.
