Description
Peacefully set among a lush botanical haven ensuring privacy from the road, this 70s classic is immediately warm and welcoming, even more so once the wood-burning stone fireplace is ablaze. From homesteaders to bird watchers to young families wanting to immerse themselves in nature, and even those who just love the idea of a daily escape that offers the chance to disconnect from city life – you’ll adore the lifestyle on offer.
Oozing character and charm with the allure of warm timber floors, bespoke windows and exposed beams, the home features two living areas allowing plenty of space for families to spread out, including a quiet lounge and a family/meals domain showcasing a stunning original floor to ceiling stone fireplace. A central kitchen shines with plenty of natural light and stainless-steel cooking appliances and includes a nook with gorgeous garden views for a morning brew admiring the birdlife or a spot for the laptop. You’ll be hard pressed to find a more serene spot to work from home. Three bedrooms (one lavish in size and one with ensuite effect to the main bathroom) are serviced by two bright skylit bathrooms with timber-topped vanities with every room spoilt with a garden view.
Step outside and enjoy a cuppa on the verandah or tinker to your heart’s content in the downstairs studio workshop with its own entrance. The studio workshop has a flexibility open to a rumpus retreat, a storage room, a studio for a home business or even a bedroom ideal for teens or multi generation accommodation. The garden has been created by a botanist, resulting in a plethora of rare and unusual species, from the native themed front gardens of 20-year-old snow gums that have been grown from seed to a pond with frogs – an idyllic spot to soak up the sun’s rays and listen to nature’s soundtrack. In addition, there is enchantment to be had on the open and sunny lawns or solace under the shade of two century old oak trees – grand dames that are caressed by the wisdom of old growth.
At the rear, a productive garden unfolds with fruit varieties including apricot, lemon, lime, plum, espaliered apple, nectarine, blueberry, rhubarb, feijoa, red, white and black currants, finger lime, pear, peach, fig, elderberry, gooseberry, hops and rare Japanese food plants including yuzu, Japanese pepper and ginger. There’s even a tea camellia for brewing your own tea. In summer, the garden is perfumed by ripening raspberries from the long trellis. There are 6 large vegetable beds with irrigation and trellis arbours between them – imagine stepping outside to freshly harvest vegetables for your dinner. A circular herb garden is located conveniently closer to the house. And no productive garden would be complete without a chicken house and yard for those who love fresh eggs and the clucking of chickens.
Walk to school and enjoy local walks including meandering through Burnham Beeches, George Tindale and Alfred Nicholas Gardens and the Sherbrooke Forest trails followed by breakfast at renowned Proserpina Bakery a short walk away.
