THE COTTAGE
An easy to manage 2.53ha* (6.25* acre) property with plenty of room for the family to enjoy. Featuring a nicely renovated 3 bedroom character cottage with return verandah and external brick games room, "Moira" is a property packed full of opportunity for the first home buyer, astute rental investor or weekend retreater.
From the photos, you can see the cottage has undergone a fresh and delightful reno. With high ceilings of the era, fireplaces and original double-glass doors that provide access to the exterior from most rooms. The updated decor including new paint, carpets, timber floors, modern stainless steel electric appliances, fixtures and fittings all align with modern standards.
The kitchen meals area overlooks a large open plan living area with cosy fireplace. Double doors lead to formal dining area with original open fireplace and further double doors lead to the return verandah.
A master bedroom includes a large walk-in-robe and ensuite, two further bedrooms include BIR's. Formally a sunroom, the larger of the two bedrooms is orientated to north, is light filled and provides external access via double doors.
In keeping with the modern update, the main bathroom features new tiles, fixtures and fittings and spa bath.
OUTBUILDINGS
An undercover BBQ alfresco area is neat addition to the cottage and was well built, constructed on a concrete slab with timber framing, iron roof with 2 x electric fans for movement of air on warmer days.
Overlooking the alfresco is a large studio constructed of brick, with inviting bi-fold doors leading to a timber deck. Currently utilised as a games room with bar area and split system heating and cooling, the studio could be used for a number of purposes including guest quarters, office or kids retreat to name a few.
Directly opposite the alfresco and rear of the cottage is a large 10* metre x 12* metre enclosed shed, original by nature, the shed is constructed of old timber beams and iron and serves as workshop and storage area for vehicles and farm implements. An adjoining smaller 5* metre x 12* metre shed provides for additional storage space and is an ideal tack room from horse enthusiasts.
An animal shelter is constructed at the rear of the shed complex and fencing serves for day yards.
Two large paddocks, one at the front of the property and one at the rear, provide plenty of space for "farm lifestyle" activities including horse riding, running a few sheep or horticultural / orchard pursuits synonymous to the area. The rear paddock includes a significant dam, rainfall for the area is generally in the range of 688mm* annually and a water licence allocation adds further water security peace of mind (details on application).
