Mount Torrens SA 5244

Towards the later end of the 19th Century the original Mount Torrens school was constructed. In 2012 it now presents as a character laden home. The exterior is of stone with brick quoins and window surrounds while internally the character has been upheld yet has had modern living appointments introduced. The living area is a large open plan section with overhead void that creates a bright and spacious feel underneath the concave cypress pine ceilings with Oregon beams. The exposed stone walls, slate floor and timber features all combine to create the charm, while an Archer gas log fire with remote control, Velux skylights and 4 year old kitchen with dishwasher and soft close drawers, all add the desirable modern touches. A recent addition provides another living room with glass walls on 3 sides and being surrounded by the gardens is a great place to enjoy breakfast while the morning sun shines through.
The combined laundry and bathroom has a large corner vanity, large glass shower alcove, toilet and heater. Up the timber staircase is a mezzanine section currently utilised as a large accommodation area. Other upgrades to the home include Magnetite insulated windows which provide superb heat and noise insulating qualities. The formation of a front porch is by way of a semi-enclosed area with roller shades. There is red brick paving work around the home.
LAND:
1022m2. The quiet hamlet of Mt Torrens is the location of this most charming and unique home. Township facilities include a general store and post office, farm and hardware store, hotel and primary school with other schools nearby. Birdwood is less than 5 minutes to the north while the freeway via Woodside is to the South. This is an outstanding hills township allotment based around some magnificent tall oak trees and its own bore with quality water that has been recently tested at 800ppm and approximately 1200gph. The gardens thrive in this climate where the water is plentiful and is the perfect environment for the fruit trees which include cherry, crab apple, loquat, almond, fig and weeping mulberry. With plenty of room for a vegetable patch this 1/4 acre garden setting is a perfect holding to enjoy hills living. The driveway extends to the rear of the property and there is a parking bay at the front. The lawn area and established plants are delightful and are appreciated by the birds that are attracted to this property.
IMPROVEMENTS:
A single car carport is adjoined by some sundry shedding which could be used as storage for animals. The chook house is ready for its occupants and nearby is a shadehouse. For the horticulturalist a hot house is an optional extra. Two small rainwater tanks provide additional water for pot plants while SA water is connected to the home.
SUMMARY:
A perfect character home or potential commercial use (subject to council consent). Ideal gallery or Bed and Breakfast, only 45 minutes to the toll gate at Glen Osmond.
