49 Jayes Road

Balingup WA 6253

The home has welcoming simple country charm, and has exposed wooden floorboards and open plan design. The simplicity of the design is reminiscent of a previous era time when life was enjoyed at a slower pace.
Memories of ???Wind on the Willows??? come to mind, with a gnarled old willow tree on the waters edge of the river reserve.
The house is surrounded by established cottage gardens, with secret vistas and pathways, and a large old mulberry tree provides shade, as well as lots of mulberries! Other established fruit trees include lemon, several oranges, mandarin, cherry and fig.
An under-cover entertaining area at the back of the house overlooks the shady and secluded gardens that lead down to the brook. This restful area is ideal for entertaining, or just curling up with a good book or enjoying an evening glass of wine.
The solid jarrah-framed house was built approximately 50 years ago when good quality jarrah was readily available.
The front verandah, hidden from view by established gardens, also provides a sheltered outdoor living area.
A welcoming front door with leadlight insert leads into the lounge and living area. This open-plan area has lovely garden views, and consists of lounge and dining area, with an adjoining kitchen. Reverse-cycle air-conditioning keeps the area cool in summer and warm in winter. Solid jarrah benchtops in the kitchen compliment the exposed jarrah flooring and creates a country ambience.
Both bedrooms are double size, and another smaller room, currently used as an office, could also be used as a third bedroom.
The property has several good sized sheds. One, with lovely old doors and high-pitched roof would lend itself to being converted into a studio or extra bedroom (with shire permission). Another shed is more recent and is also of generous proportions. Both sheds have power and concrete flooring. A third shed with power provides extra storage.
The house is connected to scheme water, and also has a rainwater tank for drinking water if preferred.
