45 Bailey Street, Amphitheatre VIC 3468

NEW PHOTOS: Only 2 families have owned this family home first built as a cottage with the double storey additions added in 1876 - the flagstones in the kitchen and thickness of walls a reminder of its origin. The family retained ownership until 1982 when purchased by the current owners who made a further complementary addition in 1984 which resulted in the floorplan of 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen with prep room, formal dining, drawing room and library, 2 very large informal rooms and a second staircase. The cantilevered balcony, entered from French doors, on the north and east side has serpentine cast-iron trim and there is a veranda on 3 returns. The 2 acre (approx) garden holds botanic gems including 4 mature (healthy) elm trees and other species only found in a century plus garden. There is a further 8 acres (approx) of paddocks purpose bought for horses and among the original outbuildings are the old stables, the brick WC and a variety of shedding for livery and other items. There is an enormous shed with part slab floor and power. A fully detached self-contained studio or guest accommodation is a bonus. Amphitheatre is 13k from Avoca and is blessed with Hamptons type foliage in Autumn. This property is unique with further (fabulous) possibilities.
