9 Martins Creek Rd, Paterson is a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 6 parking spaces. The property has a land size of 11940m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in March 2017.
Historic and charming 'Old Punt House' is set upon 2.95 acres with absolute river frontage, not far downstream from the enchanting village of Paterson, approximately 45 minutes north-west of Newcastle and two hours from Sydney.
The five bedroom home is set at the high point of a series of established and newer gardens populated by massive lemon-scented gums, Norfolk pines, frangipanis, mature fruit trees, peppercorns, rose plantings, a children's fairyland, lawns, vegetable patches and a chook run all of which cascades down to the banks of the gently flowing Paterson River.
The home is a large and spacious celebration of timber craftsmanship, built from robust weatherboards with rich, dark cypress floors and walls and ceilings variously tongue-in-groove lined. There are wide, airy verandas to four sides and a wonderful deck on the north west corner which overlooks the gardens and river beyond.
The building cleverly incorporates the original dwelling. Essentially, the home is centred around a huge open living and kitchen area with separate dining and sunroom downstairs, and two enormous bedroom and/or studio spaces upstairs. The lower-level southern wing comprises a gathering of bedrooms surrounding a sizable terracotta bathroom featuring shower and spa bath.
The two expansive spaces upstairs have gabled windows to three sides and attractive balconies. These allow for gorgeous views of the countryside to the north along the river valley and across to the ranges in the west. Either room could be used as the master and the other a guest or shared kids' bedroom, or perhaps studio. A discreet bathroom services the upper floor.
Old Punt House is cool in summer and cosy in winter, assisted in turn by the tidal river breezes and modern air conditioning, ceiling fans and a pot belly wood heater (the property provides boundless quantities of fuel for the latter).
The modern timber kitchen is spread out, with lots of bench space (including an island) and a generous walk-in pantry. It's equipped with gas stove, St George oven, dishwasher and an outlook down to the river from the window. Nearby is a powder room.
Old Punt House is a truly captivating place. A sanctuary. It offers freedom and flexibility. It could be a semi-rural dream home for creative couples or young families seeking the peace and quiet of country life perhaps 'working from home' and working the land in tandem.
