118 Lymington Road, Cygnet TAS 7112

On approach from the street this home is very private, but on driving through the quaint picket gates the grounds open up to reveal a spacious, classic country garden which encompasses a beautifully converted apple barn originally built in 1891. This home has buckets of character. The land stretches to nearly two acres and includes a lovely creek boundary.

The interior of the home has a casual, relaxed aesthetic with atrium windows running the length of the living areas, the result is a light drenched living space that gently eases visitors into the heart of the home.

This generous room serves many purposes and the layout and size is flexible enough to suit any need. The poured concrete floor throughout this area is wonderfully cool on a hot summers day, but has underfloor heating to keep things cozy on winter nights.

The kitchen is centred around the principles of simplicity and harmony. The large island bench has space to prepare food, sit and eat and provides shelves for storage. There are two options for cooking, the burgundy Savoir­-Faire dual fuel 900mm enamelled gas range and the wood fired bakers oven. An enviable butlers sink rounds out the offering in this hand crafted, true 'Country Kitchen'.

The master suite delivers instant impact with its vaulted timber lined ceilings and capaciousness, at a grand 6.8mx3.4m there is space enough for a sitting area as well as a large bed. The en-suite is compact but beautifully finished with period style tapware.

A guest bedroom rounds out the sleeping accommodation and is just off a second sitting/reading area, which could be converted into a WIR/dressing area or a third bedroom. This area is serviced by the main bathroom with a very generous soaking tub.

There is also plenty of potential with an unfinished loft space which just needs lining and floor coverings and could be a great bonus to the interior of the home.

Outside there is a fantastic chicken house which back onto a fenced run filled with fruit trees of all kinds; pears, apples, cherries and a beautiful old greengage. Springtime brings a multitude of spectacular bulbs. As well a historic smokehouse which serves as the garden shed currently, a wonderful feature to add to the atmosphere of the established gardens.

The wraparound verandahs are fully lined and provide a superb outlook toward the yacht club and over the bay, along with more intimate spaces overlooking the charming gardens. At days end there are multiple places to relax and take in the views, or enjoy a glass of wine.

Just 10 minutes walk along the foreshore to the town of Cygnet, a thriving community with all the services of a small country town including doctors, cafes, a bank and schools. Over the years Cygnet has attracted many artists and creatives, which gives the town an eclectic flair and it's only 45 min to Hobart.
