Beautiful circa 1920 gentleman's bungalow perfectly positioned within the heart of Victor Harbor and set in a truly stunning garden that will inspire!
Set on 3285sqm approximately and hidden from the street, this land was originally part of Mount Breckan estate. Complementing the garden which has a winter creek running through, is the charming residence, named after a family home in Dowlais in Wales. It has been owned and lived in by the current owners for over 37 years.
Described as 'one of the most picturesque houses in Victor Harbor' and the host of numerous weddings and charitable events, including the Open Garden Scheme, the property underwent extensive renovations in the mid-eighties, including the conversion of an existing garage, French doors throughout allowing for garden views and the installation of external stone walls and terraces.
The bungalow is much loved and graceful in appearance with a wide open porch and enclosed verandahs on two sides to provide for ample outdoor living space for all seasons.
The traditional central entrance leads to a spacious living room with built in bookshelves and mantel fitted with combustion fire to the right and a large dining room, with open fire, to seat 10 comfortably on the left hand side of the hallway. The open plan country kitchen is conveniently positioned off the outdoor pergola and includes ample bench tops and storage, dishwasher, server hatch to the dining room. The main bathroom, small ensuite bathroom and large laundry with passage storage is adjacent the kitchen.
A casual living/studio has been created at the rear off Breckan Avenue. Previously a garage, this useful space is fitted with bookshelves and desk and could be used as a third or fourth bedroom.
The three current bedrooms complete the residence, the master bedroom enjoying lovely French doors opening onto the gardens, the other two bedrooms are spacious. Bedroom three or study, is located in the centre of the home, typical of bungalows of that era.
A 'vintage style' flat with its own entry off Breckan Avenue is a classic addition from the 60's, could be enjoyed as a getaway or teenagers retreat. The flat comprises one bedroom, small bathroom, kitchenette and runs off a sub meter.
Paths meander through the greenery in the delightful rambling garden, with a variety of trees including birches, pear and poplars, ferns, camellias, bougainvilleas, pistachio and natives. An old corkscrew willow enhances the area where a bridge over the creek leads to a sheltered patio with fountain.
Relax and dine outdoors under the covered patio, where sweeping return verandahs provide several areas to enjoy sea breezes on Summer days or the warmth of winter sunshine, while the children play close by on the lawn. In its day, the previous owners installed a flying fox set up that ran across the creek. The currently family's children can recall swinging across the creek on a large rope attached to the big gum tree...just many memoirs shared from family members who have been fortunate to enjoy this magnificent property over the generations.
Other discerning features include huge double carport and shed, two rainwater tanks, 10 solar panels, security system, ducted evaporative air conditioning and NBN is available.
