243 Brooks Road, Clarendon SA 5157

Priced to suit someone in search of a fresh start, a renovation or a rural getaway within reach of the Southern Vales, charming Clarendon, the southern coastal suburbs and a doable budget.

In the same family for many years and once the hub of a larger dairying property, this 1950s, double-brick, tiled roof home still takes pride of place on a 1143sqm block with all the vineyard and valley views you could want. Hilltop serenity in spades!

Picturesque Brooks Road boasts several premier properties and the drive up from Clarendon is the perfect way to achieve the relaxed state of mind that makes coming home a pleasure. While currently disposed as two bedrooms with lounge, a family room offers immediate scope as a third bedroom while you contemplate renovation and/or extension to provide for more expansive family living.

The kitchen, still mostly original with a distinct 50s feel, sits centrally in the home and offers a cosy meals area for day to day dining. The large porch and lobby offer more opportunities for alternate living space and give a strong hint of how the rear of the home could be opened up to take spectacular advantage of the far-reaching views.

There is ample shedding - single garage with ready access to the house, two-bay garage with single roller door and workshop or storage space - which would make a great base for a tradie or other home-based business and provide weatherproof work or stowage space while renovations are in progress.

Without being demanding, the old-style garden is well established and could easily be developed further with water from the property's bore. But really, it's all about the views across the many thousands of rolling acres that feel like your own but you don't have to pay for or look after!

Call Angus and make a time to take a drive through this gorgeous part of the Adelaide Hills: properties like this can reward the imagination and - at a price that makes a courtyard block home look like a choice of last resort - become real treasures.
