TO ATTEND A PUBLICLY ADVERTISED OPEN FOR INSPECTION YOU'LL NEED TO BE DOUBLE VACCINATED AND PROVIDE PROOF OR ALTERNATIVELY REQUEST A PRIVATE INSPECTION.

This incredible country escape is like a piece of history set in the rapidly expanding community of Marong, a 20-minute drive to Bendigo CBD.
Circa 1905, the home was the former presbytery for St Patrick's Catholic church built opposite.

Twenty years ago, the property captured the hearts of the current owners, and they have spent many hours since lavishing it with passion and careful attention to authenticity. Their labour of love is now your opportunity to step back in time and secure an outstanding, fully restored heritage property.

The solid red brick home retains a wealth of period features such as cast iron lace-trimmed return verandah, tuck pointed brickwork, high pitched roof with ornate chimney stacks, 3.8m (12"6") ceilings, sash windows, grand arched entry hall, wide ornate cornice, moulded skirting boards and architraves, polished timber floors, pressed metal/timber ceilings, open fireplaces and a claw foot bath.

Generous accommodation includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, spacious formal lounge with a feature arched bay window with leadlight glazed fanlights, a study, 3m x 4m cellar and expansive extended open-style living/dining/kitchen areas.

The kitchen features electric cooking appliances, a dishwasher, stainless steel island, walk-in pantry and rustic timber cabinetry topped with earthy concrete benchtops.

Enjoy easy family living in the living room with a cosy Gourmet cook-on solid-fuel heater, split system air con. and French doors to a side outdoor living deck positioned to appreciate the landscaped gardens and northerly aspect. A brick wood-fired pizza oven will help with catering for family and friends.

A separate driveway leads to the restored coach house/barn, perfect for dual living/house guests or an Airbnb. Full of rustic charm and character, it incorporates a ground-floor living area, dining, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and walk-through laundry. A wooden staircase with custom-made aged wrought iron balustrading leads to the upper bedroom suite with toilet and barn doors opening to a Juliet balcony with more bespoke wrought iron.

Every piece of the approx 5156m lot is a gardener's paradise. With the combination of fertile soil and both town and tank water, it includes a productive orchard and vegetable plot with potting shed, espaliered olive trees, drifts of hardy herbaceous plants, towering palm trees, autumn-loving ornamental pears, grapevines and much more.

Outbuildings include a three-car carport, 7.5m x 12m. Colorbond shed/workshop and hen house.
Set in the heart of the township, it's a short stroll to school, childcare, medical centre, general store, hotel and bus service to Bendigo.
