The home has a welcoming central entrance that leads to a spacious main lounge room which is called the 'winter room' with open fireplace with mantel, period lighting and sash window. Leading from the lounge room are two bedrooms and a study or library which form the original dwelling. In 2011 a spacious new main bathroom was added, complete with euro laundry, deep oval bath, shower and vanity.

The open plan country kitchen was renovated in 2018 at the rear of the residence, with shaker style cupboards, deep sink with quality tapware and 900mm gas oven and cooktop, stunning stone benchtops, pantry and Bosch dishwasher.

The rear extension was built with thought and care using a stone mason to build a long bluestone feature wall that fits a book case, combustion fireplace and master bedroom with modern ensuite on the western side of the home. With modern grey floor tiling that flows to the white concertina French doors to the rear gardens, this space is a special addition that is sensitive to the home's historic character, but brings the modern amenities to allow for a comfortable lifestyle.

Several doors access the meandering gardens that surround the full perimeter of the home providing for cool summers and enjoying the light sea breeze. Relax and outdoor dine under the ash tree, escaping to the garden for all seasons. Feature stone walls, numerous fruit trees, established Mediterranean plants, together with vegetable garden, expansive lawns, old shed and workshop (which was the original smithery), unique glass house plus an original petanque court, complete the landscape.

Other discerning features include single garage with carport, four rainwater tanks totaling 25,000 litres approximately, 1.2 kilowatt solar, upgraded electrical and the house is on rainwater with the garden connected to mains water for easy maintenance during the warmer months.

With rear views over a rural landscape all the way to the sea and an additional garden space to own and explore, this unique property provides a wonderful opportunity to purchase a piece of historical Port Elliot.
