Kempton TAS 7030

Built in 1870 and positioned on a 981 sqm block (approximately), what was the original post office has been transformed into a wonderful, rambling family home. As you enter through the front door there is instantly a sense of calm, greeted inside by high ceilings and a lovely relaxed feel, the layout of the home offers a myriad of opportunities. For the family needing space there are all of those bedrooms, and living areas and for the extended family wanting to accommodate family members or for those looking to invest in a prime location only 49kms from Hobart there is the option of Airbnb, a holiday let or large family weekend retreat to escape the city. The highlight of this property is the cosy family room off the well appointed kitchen which has a gorgeous fire place and opens onto a dining area overlooking the lovely gardens which are a delight all year round. There are established fruit trees, a chook shed and beautiful nooks and crannies to enjoy. Outside there are the original old stables, currently used as a garage and storage but offering plenty of possibilities to be developed further.

"Kempton is a small, early colonial, settlement with a rich collection of historic buildings which have resulted in it being classified as an historic town. Located less than an hour north of Hobart, and just off the Midland Highway, it is an historic anomaly - a delightful town with not a single gift shop or sign of tackiness to be seen. It offers the possibility of exploring a 19th century Tasmanian village largely untouched by modern development."

With too many features to include here this is simply a property that must be experienced in person. It is a real family home of generous proportions and offers a peace and serenity that is rarely on offer, in the heart of one Tasmania's most sought after villages.
