This property offers a charming weatherboard and fibro cottage, originally built around 1910 and moved to this location later on. Offering 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets, with open plan living/dining and covered north-facing verandah, it is a very attractive family package. Plus, there's a separate secondary dwelling with 1 bedroom, small living/dining/kitchen, bathroom and laundry combined, and a generous covered verandah! If that's not enough space, there's also a double carport and a separate office study, veggie garden, chook shed and excellent views both front and back, all set on a large 1410 sqm block.
When you arrive at this property there's a palpable serenity about it, with its north-facing position providing extensive mountain views and cherished cool summer breezes. The house is set well back on the block, and the covered front verandah beckons you to sit and relax, as well as welcoming you to step into the open plan living/kitchen/dining (8x8m), with polished timber floors and high ceilings.
The kitchen offers reasonable bench and cupboard space, generous pantry, double stainless steel sink with easterly views and an almost-new 5 burner gas cooktop and extra big electric oven. The living area is spacious and comfortable, and on those cool winter evenings you'll enjoy that cosy feeling of gathering around the slow-combustion fire.
Bedrooms 4 (3.5 x 3.5m) and 5 (2.5 x 3.5m) are at one end of the house, with both rooms enjoying delightful views over lush paddocks to rolling hills beyond.
The main bedroom 1 (6 x 3.5m) also enjoys those views and more, with polished timber floors, built-in robes/shelves and the luxury of space. Bedroom 3 (3.5 x 3m) and bedroom 2 (3.5 x 3.5m) both also feature polished timber floors and high ceilings, plus bedroom 2 has ensuite access to a small bathroom and separate toilet.
The main bathroom features claw-foot bath with shower over, and another separate toilet adjacent, with the laundry right next to it and close to easy outside access.
The separate office/study/consulting room is an added bonus and currently serves as a massage space, while the separate secondary dwelling is an absolute gift for granny's, granddad's, guests or go, go teenagers. It's totally self-contained and council-approved, and could also provide an income stream if not required for your own friends or family.
Outside, there's an established veggie garden, chook shed, both new and well-established trees and gardens, and more of that luxurious commodity.....space, with 1410sqm to play with. The backyard is fully fenced, and it's a thoroughly enjoyable 15 min (1400m) walk to Bellingen across the Beautiful Bellinger River.
