Built in 1900, the solid stone home with matching stone quoining has been very well maintained. Character features of the era includes high ceilings, timber floors, Cedar hung windows, generous sized bedrooms, comfortable separate living & dining areas, generous robe and storage areas and a central country kitchen. Country cooking takes on a whole new meaning with the magnificent new 900mm Smeg gas/electric upright cooker and a new canopy range hood set in a slate tiled recess. There is the benefit of an adjoining utility room perfect for a study area or a butler's pantry.

The elegant sitting room is sheltered by the full-width, wrap around bull-nosed front verandah and there is a functioning wood burning stove built in to the fireplace. The equally elegant dining area adjacent to the kitchen features a reverse cycle air conditioner and a slow combustion wood heater. A door leads to the rear north facing patio - the perfect place to relax and soak in the winter sun.

The master bedroom features a walk-in robe and is situated at the front of the home away from the other bedrooms. Bedrooms 2 & 3 can accommodate king size beds and have bespoke built-in robes.
The large bathroom features new tapware, wall tiling complemented by timber lining, a lovely corner bath and a separate shower recess.
Set within approx. 4.0 acres of mature grounds there is extensive visitor parking to the front and side of the property. Outbuildings including a garage, large workshop, double carport, secure timber-lined stable, hay shed and chook run provide both storage and ready-made facilities for the whole family to enjoy hobbies, gardening and rural pursuits.
The gardens are predominately laid to lawn with borders with mature trees and planting.
A large variety of mature & productive fruit & nut trees, including a magnificent avocado tree are scattered between beautiful exotic deciduous trees creating a private and sheltered garden environment. Mature gum trees border the property beyond the horse paddock at the rear.
The house and gardens are serviced by rainwater tanks and an electrically operated bore.

Surrounded by rural scenery, the property is located in a quiet, prime position within a 5 minute walk to the local village store/post office, bistro and service centre.
