LAND: 2020m2 A great, picturesque location opposite the old pound, which is now a reserve, gives a great outlook for this property. Opportunities are endless with this large, rectangular shaped allotment on the edge of town. It is divided into three sections; the house and the front garden, which features a boxed hedge and central garden path that leads to the front picket fence and garden gate; the rear of the home has ample room for children and pets to play and there is a gentle slope up to the shedding and up to a paddock at the rear. Plenty of room for large vehicles to come and go.
RESIDENCE: Built in 1865 this home is believed to have been the Goldfield s Mine Manager s residence. The thickness of the walls is incredible and acts as a great insulator; these feature throughout the home. The layout of this cottage is very versatile and could certainly suit a number of options. Currently it is set up as a three bedroom home with two living areas. Step back into the charm of yesterday as you enter the home and into the formal lounge room, with a slow combustion stove, then through to the open plan country kitchen and family meals area with a fan forced slow combustion heater. Two of the three bedrooms are on the western side of the home; all are of a generous size and were originally interlinking - giving an option to work with if required for, perhaps, a nursery or treatment rooms, for example. The smaller bedroom has a door that links to the bathroom. At the rear of the home there is a recently upgraded bathroom which now features a vanity, shower over the bath and a toilet, a separate 2nd toilet, laundry and a handy utility storage area near the rear door, which is an ideal area for
hanging up your jacket and taking off your boots as you come in from
outside.
IMPROVEMENTS: The driveway, along the side of the home, leads up to a double carport. A rustic, stone building has an area set aside for a work shop/garage and an open area for the parking of larger vehicles. A couple of garden sheds, which are handy for your day to day storage requirements and a tank for the collection and storage of rain water.
SUMMARY: All you need is the 'Old rocking chair' sitting out the front verandah to make this home complete.
