Last Listing description (January 2020)
What started as a humble C1900 stone cottage would rise to new heights, extend again and again, and bask in its stylish encore to become something pretty darn special on some 1.85 magical acres in sought-after Mylor...
This is 'Upper Ash'; the charming proof that the best homes get better with age...particularly when they merge the old world with the new, inside and out.
We can thank the current owner for that encore; a series of high-quality improvements in what went from two bedrooms to five - and from blending three extensions since the 1970's.
The end result is a home of scale, split into two levels and three wings; including one headlined by its JAG kitchen, spotted gum floors, matching sandstone exterior and instant access to a timber decked patio/pavilion that hovers subtly amongst the trees.
Perhaps the greatest triumph among many here, the original cottage now backs onto a central living room with a soaring angled roof and a feature fireplace with New York cityscape wallpaper to go with your Virginia Stallard window furnishings.
The point is that every piece - many of them forged by local trades - was carefully planned, much like the upper level that designated its sitting room, bedroom, walk-in robe and striking Chris Bamford ensuite entirely to the heads of the household.
The kids have a choice of the original cottage or guest wing with near instant access to one of your two upgraded bathrooms.
A former nursery, the bore-fed grounds that surround this imposing, almost fairytale-esque home have a way of making life's daily stresses disappear amongst long leafy promenades, garden nooks, chicken run, an ornamental well, and shedding for your very own Rodeo and ride on mower.
Put the pieces together and it's plain to see that it doesn't get much better than this in Mylor.
