3,096m2 (.75 acre). Large level allotment on the edge of town with two road frontages. Central to the allotment is a large gravel area for vehicles giving very good access to the perimeter shedding. To one side of this area is an extensive planting of native trees and bushes, the vegetable patch and orchard, with a chook run towards the rear of the area. Around the house is a good mixture of shrubs and trees with small lawn areas to the north east and south of the residence. At the western end of the residence is a delightful private courtyard with a large paved area with raised garden beds. A beautiful water feature highlights the courtyard, commencing at the central point of the garden, then cascading down into the ornamental pond at the base of the raised garden.
RESIDENCE:
The original stone residence was built approximately 100 years ago and was one of the original railway workers residences in Cambrai. The original section of the residence features 12 foot high ornate ceilings and cornices and contains bedrooms one, two and three and the formal entry hall. Bedroom one has a window fitted, reverse cycle air conditioner and carpet floor cover. Bedroom two has an open fireplace and bedrooms two and three and passage all have polished floor boards. The extension to the original residence increased the living space to over 200m2. The extension contains the large country kitchen, central living/lounge room, sunroom/dine, bedrooms four and five, bathroom, toilet and laundry. Bedrooms four and five are carpeted, have an adjoining doorway as well as separate entry from within the residence. The large sunroom/dine has a slate tiled floor, in wall cooling air conditioner, ceiling fan and has direct access to the courtyard. The side entry to the residence gives access to the bathroom with bath, shower alcove, vanity and toilet, as well as a separate toilet, a large walk in pantry and the kitchen. The large country style kitchen has a gas stove, an alcove for a dishwasher, a stainless steel sink, a good amount of bench top and storage cupboards. Part of the kitchen bench separates the kitchen from central living/lounge. Along two sides of the residence is a return bullnose verandah whilst on the north western side leading into the courtyard is a wide verandah. The hot water system is electric and is connected to rainwater.
IMPROVEMENTS:
A large L-shaped shed complex of over 250m2 comprises 2 x lined rooms, once used as commercial premises, now a teenagers retreat and/or games room. An in-wall cooling air conditioner is located in the smaller room of approximately 7 x 5.5m with a small in-wall cooling air conditioner in the larger room of approximately 10 x 5.5m. These two rooms give significantly extra space for a large family to spread out. The rest of the shed complex is used as a home workshop, garaging and storage. With three separate sliding doors and a roller door, there is garaging for four vehicles. Although the property is connected to mains water (garden and toilet use), the owners rely on rainwater with a 30,000 litre metal rainwater tank off the shed and an inground 40,000 litre tank off the residence. The rainwater is pumped to a raised header tank then gravity fed to the residence. Tucked away to the rear of the property is a small garden shed with concrete floor, near to the chook yard and behind a shade cloth roof structure (approximately 7 x 6m) which is currently used to store a small caravan and car.
SUMMARY:
Very affordable, well presented large residence for a large family or for people who want space. Cambrai is only 1.5 hours from Adelaide City, 25 minutes from the wonderful playground of the Murray River and only 35 minutes from the Barossa Valley.
