"Willowbank"
Formally known as the Prince of Wales Inn and now aptly named "Willowbank", this estate just 10 minutes from Brighton is rich in history and unique beyond measure. Set on a sprawling 7.97 hectares (approx 19.63 acres), the 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with adjoining bakehouse, dairy, shearing shed, and stables is presented in immaculate condition.
While unassuming from the street, this magnificent property is nothing short of warm and welcoming upon entry. The manicured gardens complete with original cobblestones and gently flowing brook, offer sanctuary and space to explore while sheep, guinea fowl, chickens and a variety of birds make the surrounding fertile land their home. Stunning willow trees provide plenty of shade and a variety of fruit trees including apples, walnut, raspberries, apricots, pears, cherries, rhubarb and nut trees as well as an established vegetable garden, offer a plentiful supply of produce for all those wonderful home cooked meals.
The main house features a neutral palette, light filled interiors, high ceilings, and expansive windows. There are ample living spaces to enjoy as well as stunning garden vistas from all aspects. While grand in proportion, the Huon Pine kitchen with island bench, generous storage options and a wood heater is an inviting place to congregate - plenty of room for the extended family or when guests come to stay. With French doors from the lounge and dining area, opening onto the patio you are once again, never far from those beautiful gardens. Two spacious sunrooms and the laundry complete the versatile floor plan of the main house.
A double carport plus additional powered high-span workshop (approx 16x7m) provides plenty of space for all the required farm equipment. When it comes to maintenance and upkeep of the property, no stone has been left unturned. The property has been re-wired and re-plumbed, there is solar hot water, 3.5 kw solar panels and water supply is from a gravity fed dam & numerous large tanks.
