Can you feel it? Just imagine!
With stunning stained glass features, high ceilings, dual living spaces, gorgeous big bay windows, chandeliers, ceiling roses and even a maids quarters with cellar, this one is going to work her magic on you from start to finish and give you a real sense of nostalgia and love.
Entry from the front rose filled gardens via the dual front doors leads through the wide passage with high ceilings to the gorgeous living room with fire place and separate spacious dining room alongside the eat-in style kitchen, also with combustion fire. Plenty of room in the country look kitchen, complete with precious pressed tin ceiling features, for meal preparation and entertaining, modernised over the years to provide dishwasher, oven, cooktop and pantry.
The second living room on the other side of the homestead doubles as a library with built in book shelves and another fire place. This is such a romantic spot to sit and enjoy a quiet read or moment of peace and tranquillity with a loved one.
Three large bedrooms. Come and enjoy the romantic setting that is the master bedroom suite with her high ceilings, huge big bay window and another fire place. So warm and inviting, pure romance for couples to enjoy.
The 2nd bedroom, on the other side of the home, also set to the front, enjoys the view over the rose gardens through another big bay window and of course, another fire place!
Alongside the dining room is what they formerly called the 'maids quarters' with chunky old timber floor boards and a stairway down to the cellar, this room is believed to have been the original kitchen of the home and has a storage / utility room alongside that is also set up as a bedroom or a good space for a study.
The family sized bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet wouldn't be complete without the claw foot bath and features a lovely timber door with stained glass to really set the mood.
A separate laundry / mud room with a 2nd toilet alongside and a convenient 2nd shower to accommodate guests, as we know everyone is going to want to come and stay and enjoy your new home with you.
