Situated close to the town centre, this delightful return verandah character home exudes enchanting historical elegance.

Located on a truly magnificent fully fenced allotment of over 2,500 sqm of level land, nestled amongst mature English trees and set behind an expansive brick and iron front fence, the home is positioned beautifully on the block so that an expansive rear garden and a spacious front garden can be enjoyed by all the family.

Originally constructed from local stone and brick in C.1855, thoughtfully extended and enhanced in the 1930’s with subtle use of decorative arts styling, this landmark home retains an abundance of original character features.

Art Deco leadlight doors and window features, beautiful decorative ceilings and timber floors create nostalgia from this popular era, while an immensely beautiful and wide verandah with distinctive Ionic columns wraps three sides and serves as a wonderful place to sit and ponder the day. This beautiful homes’ eclectic style simply works.

The rear of this fine character home has been sympathetically extended and upgraded with a third major addition in the 1980’s. In recent years the entire home has been re-roofed and has been further modernised with updated bathrooms, kitchen, enclosed study and sunroom with the addition of an expansive rear covered entertaining area.

Comprising four good-sized bedrooms and two living areas, plenty of shedding including the original smoke house, plus an enchanting separate stone outbuilding ideal for a studio, this already beautiful family home presents a wonderful opportunity to enhance further and create something really special.

Enjoy peaceful and relaxing family time in the delightfully spacious lounge, convenient to the large dining area, study and large, well equipped kitchen complete with pantry, where catering, planning and preparing a banquet will be a breeze.

At the front of the home marvellous accommodation is afforded by a spacious bathroom, three generous bedrooms and intimate living room with combustion wood stove.

You will love the feature arched passage leading you through to the sun room and around to the classic hardwood staircase and upstairs to a spacious air-conditioned master bedroom suite. With ensuite bathroom, kitchenette and secluded balcony it will be the perfect parents’ – or teenager’s retreat. Enjoy the freedom to choose how the rooms can be used to suit your family!
