As cottages go, it punches well above its weight with lovely large rooms and a stunning entertaining pergola out the back. Here drop-down blinds and no fewer than three natural gas points for barbecues and patio heaters make this a fantastic party venue even in the depths of winter, with fans providing cooling breezes at the height of summer.

Fall in love with polished timber floors, jewel-toned leadlight and four gorgeous original fireplaces, guaranteed to warm body and soul. Bliss is curling up with a good book and glass of red in front of the central living area's slow combustion stove, which heats the whole house. There is barely need for the ducted central reverse-cycle Daikin Inverter system, which really comes into its own during hot summer days and nights.

The Jag kitchen is a cook's dream, designed from the ground up to be fully functional and practical with plenty of storage including a walk-in pantry unit, Caesar Stone bench tops, Culligan reverse osmosis water purification system and European appliances including a 900mm Smeg range and semi-integrated Miele dishwasher.

The bedrooms - there are three - are all king-sized, with plenty of space for play, study or simply to unwind. These are serviced by a heritage themed bathroom with a bath and a separate toilet.

Bear in mind, this lovely home has been seven years in the making, with the intention of living in it for many years to come. So, quality is a given and there are some great energy saving features too: from the new roof with extra insulation and easy care water wise landscaping, to the fresh-air exchange - again no need for the air con - and just installed continuous gas hot water with temperature control. The list goes on!

If you see only one home next weekend, make sure it's this!
