Description
The heart and soul of one family since its creation in 1978, this grand home, built with love and superb craftsmanship, has seen a large family through all stages of life, from the pitter-patter of tiny feet to the echo of laughter at large-scale celebrations. Now, it's ready to welcome a new generation to grace its expansive, well-crafted walls. Nestled on a stunning 2-acre parcel, the setting is just magical encouraging a coveted fresh-air lifestyle that will create lifelong childhood memories. Private, serene and secluded, you are just a short walk from the village thrum adding lifestyle allure to this already impressive opportunity.
The home displays all the beloved charm of a rustic and earthy palette with soaring raked ceilings, timber accents and exposed brick permeating throughout its two lavish levels. Abundant natural light stemming from a bright combination of lavish panes and clerestory windows frame a welcoming and flexible floorplan. In mostly original yet well-maintained condition, there's a very workable canvas here for those thrilled by the thought of some contemporary enhancements.
Handmade kitchen cabinetry adds a touch of bespoke charm to the generously sized kitchen with stunning garden views, while the adjacent meals zone invites a large table for gathering around the dinner table. A lavish lounge is highlighted by a spectacular brick fireplace for cosy ambience and a comforting smoky aroma come winter, whilst an adjacent snug captures morning and afternoon sun, creating an inviting space for curling up with your favourite chapters.
The family’s cherished “music room” can double as an extra living space, offering versatility for your lifestyle needs and a downstairs rumpus features a kitchenette, making it perfect for the teens or guests.
Seven bedrooms sprawl over two levels (four upstairs including the master and three downstairs) ideally suited to large, growing or multigenerational families, plus a home office with its own entrance, provides an ideal space for those who work from home.
Outdoors, lush rolling lawns unfold from an all-season entertaining terrace perfect for children's games, leisurely strolls or home picnics under the shade of majestic oak trees. Glorious well-established gardens are adorned with roses, ferns, camellias, rhododendrons and native plantings that paint a vibrant palette of colours throughout the year – a haven for local birdlife. A herb garden plus lemon and orange trees offer fresh produce right at your doorstep.
