The bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom that comes with a shower as well as a bath overlooking the rear garden. It is the kitchen that will really capture your true country heart though. Packed with charm and yet smartly incorporating all the modern appliances you would expect from modern living, this is a kitchen you will want to spend time in, making jam, preserving your harvest, and cooking up a storm.

The back yard is cleverly terraced, creating an array of veggie and herb garden beds. These are easily accessed from the home via a paved area that leads to a deck and stairs into the backyard. Down the side there is a larger entertaining deck that provides you with a great spot to sit back with family or friends overlooking the rolling hills of the surrounding countryside. Facing due north, this property enjoys lovely all-day sun, year round.

Mature fruit trees will keep your belly full in the summer including a 100 year old productive pear tree, and a glorious mulberry tree. Down the back corner is the chicken palace. The chooks are contained within their own enclosure and have the use of an old tree cubby house, now their roosting home. Happy chooks make great eggs. The gardens are well established yet low maintenance, with a big grassy area and mature trees that create a lovely park-like feel. In the paddocks the current owners have three goats and three sheep, they would love to stay on should you want to be their new family.

Up the back, the shed provides a huge covered area consisting of 15m x 7m. There is plenty of room here for the cars, boat, camper, workshop and still room for storage too. The roof features an array of solar panels, making a substantial dent in reducing your power bills. At the back corner of the yard is an old pickers hut, now the garden shed. This is a great spot for the ride-on mower and storing your garden implements as well as a great potting shed.

Franklin is a quaint historic town along the shores of the Huon River. Here you will find an array of eateries as well as small country town services such as a post office and local primary school. Known for its wooden boat school and Living Boat Trust, there is plenty to get involved with here. The main hub of the Huon Valley is 10 minutes up the road at Huonville, where you will find all your major services and Hobart is within 40 minutes to the CBD.
