An air of mystery and anticipation builds as you travel through mature gardens brimming with native plants to arrive at the classic facade of this stunning country cottage. Original features merge with a modern floorplan, multiple French doors to the deep, wrap-around veranda create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and large windows frame blissful views of the surrounding gardens and parkland.

A traditional layout fills the front of the plan with a central hallway opening to three queen-size, high-ceiling bedrooms with decorative cornices and roses. The main bedroom boasts North-facing casement windows with etched glass, French doors to the verandah and rose garden where an arch festooned with pink blooms takes centre stage. The family bathroom, with bathtub, overhead shower and vanity, sits off the central hallway.

Expanding across the rear of the plan with three sets of French doors to the verandah is an open-plan living zone featuring a large country kitchen and meals area and a central family room with a slow-combustion fireplace in one corner. Jarrah floors gleam, multi-aspect glazing illuminates, and an elevated position delivers calming views that change with the season as cottage gardens bloom and deciduous trees transform from luminous green to rich autumn hues.

Cream cabinets and a timber worktop fashion a practical country-style kitchen. A 5-burner hob, electric oven and dishwasher make for fuss-free prep and clean up. The extra wide verandah with a pizza oven extending from the home's eastern face is the perfect setting for regular alfresco dining and entertaining. A large fire pit with a recycled industrial aesthetic and a paved gazebo offer further settings for outdoor entertaining.

A large laundry and second bathroom are arranged off the central living zone and offer direct access to the verandah, making this the ideal space to shower and change after time spent in the garden. Gardening is made more rewarding thanks to a bore-fed reticulation, and when you tire of the views from the wrap-around verandahs, enjoy a new perspective from the rustic seating area at one side of the powered workshop. Should you wish to add livestock to the bucolic outlook, fenced paddocks are ready and waiting.

To view this property is to be transported to a peaceful oasis, to feel the embrace of generous interiors, experience the timeless charm of wide verandahs, and fall under the spell of gardens filled with spring blooms, autumn colour and flowering natives where blue wrens flit and flutter.
