35 Birch Road

Stirling SA 5152

Adored for its stonework, history, and large allotment, locals suggest it was once the groundsman's home of Byethorne House nearby; years later, architect Pauline Hurren's authentic stamp ensures sophisticated charm is etched into its quaint family footprint forever.

If anywhere radiates that country feeling and Pauline's genius - it's the timber kitchen; dual aspects insist the garden stars against the central dining area and ever-essential conservatory/mudroom radiating underfloor heating.

The only upstairs retreat, the large private suite brings a soft stained glass glow to its French chalet feel against timber peaks, large ensuite and walk-in closet.

And it's the coolest summer reprieve or winter-warming haven.

For those with a love of 19th century style, the vast cathedral-inspired living room framed by a stone vestibule and garden-facing French doors is enchanting; and inspiring the deepest thinkers or creatives, flip the timber-clad 3rd bedroom into a den virtually encased in garden glory.

Outdoors, follow the creek line, azaleas, rhododendrons, ferns, camellias, and cherry blossoms that parade a sea of pink against the bluestone charm, then discover the self contained garden studio, immersed it the garden hidden from view, a perfect place to escape.

This bluestone escape is a Stirling blessing; treat yourself to something truly special
