The past is in evidence where names and dates of previous owners, German settlers and soldiers leaving for war remain etched in history forever. Three gnarled old pear trees mark the spot of a former well. Settlers believed planting pear trees around a well kept the water sweet.

Adding to the charm of this two bedroom cottage is the work of architect John Ashcroft, materialising in a two bedroom addition that pays due homage to the past, family time and fairytale gardens.

Mr Ashcroft made external stone walls an interior feature in a 2014 completed extension that allocates some 285sqm to open plan living alongside alfresco entertaining, views of a weeping willow and pond beyond.

Spotted gum floors, a Mansard style vaulted timer ceiling, a fireplace surrounded by local stone, the light filled reading nook and an ample kitchen with crisp white cupboards and a large Blackwood island piece it all together with eye catching effect.

The repointed and underpinned cottage has a lounge room heated by a Nectre slow combustion stove, and a quaint bathroom of its own, worthy accomodation for independence-craving teens or weekend guests.

A master bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in robe forms its own wing.

Stroll around the rolling lawns, visiting a Japanese style garden, the bonsai house, shedding for ride on mowers, cars, tools, hobbies and firewood. Lorikeets, sulphurs crested cockatoos and magpies flock to the bird-feeder and wild ducks bring their ducklings for seed. The garden won an award for best large rural garden in the 2019 Mount Barker Show.

Just like those before them, the current owners have added to the history of Pear Tree Cottage.
