Proudly set on 2 acres of glorious land right in the heart of Somerville here is a home that will instantly capture your heart and imagination. On the market for the first time in almost 20 years 'Llandow'' is one of the area's most iconic and historic properties originally presiding over 400 acres and belonging to the prominent Gallus family. Today the original solid brick homestead has been sympathetically renovated to offer an enviable family lifestyle home, complete with swimming pool, vast outdoor entertaining space, tennis court and extensive shedding to suit a multitude of home business options.
With all its classic elegance preserved the residence offers multiple living spaces and both formal & casual dining options, enhanced by ornate ceiling cornicing, rich timber panelling on the walls and a roaring open fireplace in the formal lounge. The original 50's country kitchen flows out both to a sunny patio for your morning coffee and directly to the pool area, complete with extensive outdoor kitchen, large bar area and poolside gazebo guaranteed to make you the envy of your friends and family and the perfect venue for hosting the largest of summer gatherings.
The four bedrooms are all generously proportioned, with built-in robes, the master with an external door and the guest bedroom opening to a private deck, all served by a large original family bathroom and a 2nd updated combined laundry/bathroom. Extra appointments include ducted heating & refrigerated cooling, ceiling fan in the master, 30 solar panels and an alarm system.
