A true country escape, on the doorstep of Canberra, that comes with all the amenities one would find at an upmarket resort. It may not be the most modern home but is sure has character and a warmth that comes with age. This is a home where the new owner can bring their own style, make changes where they want & raise a family.
Located within the tightly held Buckingham Estate, those that are familiar with the area know that not only is there access to the land belonging to the property, approximately 8,000sqm / 2 acres, but there is also access to some community owned acreage. Ensuring plenty of space and privacy from neighbouring homes, as well as a place where you can ride your Horse's etc. Making this the perfect small acreage country home with all the possibilities of much larger properties.
In total the home offers four bedrooms. Three of these are within the main home, two bedrooms are upstairs with built-in robes and the third is a loft style room - this is one kids will call dibs on as it not only offers a place to sleep but also gives them a bedroom with living space as well. At the rear of the double carport and attached to the main house is the fourth bedroom. As this bedroom is separate from the main residence it is ideal for an Au Pair, home office or potentially a money maker as it could easily be rented out.
The living room and dining area are open plan and have a grand feel due to the high raked ceilings and large feature propeller ceiling fan. I am sure this will be a talking point with guests and I am told it is so good at circulating the air in the home that it is never turned off. On a cold winter's night the slow combustion timber fireplace gives the home a warmth that only a fireplace can and provides an ambiance to while the evenings away.
The kitchen has been recently renovated with near new appliances, plenty of cupboard and bench space and hanging space for pots. It is exactly what a country style kitchen should be and one, all aspiring home cooks would love. An area where creating amazing home cooked meals for years to come will be a joy and that family and friends alike are sure to love.
Moving outside and to the rear of the home is an outdoor entertaining paradise, complete with covered alfresco, fire pit, spa, sauna and swimming pool. Unwinding after work, and summer or winter breaks are sure to be a blast.
To the east of the property is a large double shed and carport, currently set up as a home gym and dance studio. The shed also has a plumbed toilet and could be turned into a home bar or rumpus room quite easily if that is desired.
There is a rear paddock that has had a few uses in its time. It was once a BMX track, a horse paddock and arena, and is currently the home to some Alpaca's. There is also a chook shed ready to be put to use.
All this and the home is within approximately 5 minutes of Bungendore, 30 minutes to Canberra and 25 minutes to Queanbeyan. Bungendore is a town that is growing with the new high school about to commence construction, a new sports hub, great shops and cafes, local doctor, physio, bars and ambulance station. I recommend taking the drive and seeing just how good it is for yourself.
