Last Listing description (January 2019)
It is immediately obvious that this home has a heart, and a story. Originally a Miller's cottage, the current owners have worked their magic by opening up and extending the original structure to create a fantastic 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom family home that feels connected to history while offering perfectly modern and comfortable living. Surrounded by 5 acres of parkland and only minutes from Chidlow. A hipped iron roof and wide verandah with roughhewn posts give the profile of a classic homestead, the garden of native plants leaves you in no doubt that this is an Australian homestead in an Australian landscape.

Original high ceilings, a welcoming L-shaped verandah and open living / kitchen / dining set the tone for a property that delivers indoors and out. The kitchen features high-gloss wooden cabinets, a dishwasher, 900mm electric oven and a gas hob. A wrap-around bench and ample overhead and under bench storage deliver a workable space. A white, tiled splashback, white ceilings and warm grey walls bring a modernity to this historic property.
The lounge area includes a SC fireplace with heat transfer and reverse-cycle AC. Striking just the right balance between cosy and expansive, this area is inviting and comfortable in every season. Adjoining the lounge is a separate study / home office. A quiet and comfortable space, carpets and views across the landscape make this the perfect spot for quiet contemplation or uninterrupted concentration.
The main bedroom opens to the deck and a hidden courtyard - the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee and relish the rural seclusion. A walk-in robe, and stylish ensuite complete this spacious room. Reverse-cycle AC and a ceiling fan guarantee year-round comfort.
All three junior bedrooms are a good size and include a wardrobe recess. Along with the family bathroom, the junior bedrooms sit in a separate wing of the home.
A door from the kitchen opens to a wide, shaded deck with views across lawns and out to the neighbouring paddocks. The deck runs the full width of the home and incorporates a cabana before extending out to wrap the pool. The pool is filled via the high-production bore.
Two sheds - one with power - a carport, machine shelter and chicken coop dot the 5-acre property. Fully fenced, with a remote entry electric gate, you can shut out the rest of the world and embrace a life of privacy and space. Fence off a paddock for horses, relax in the cabana beside the pool, fill the chicken run with some hens and start planting a veggie garden.
