It's one thing to live in a community minded and historical village like Bungendore, it's even better when you can do it in a beautiful, quaint and yet significant home.The Cobblers Cottage circa 1860, in Bungendore is steeped in history and retains the architectural charm of a bygone era. On the inside it is cosy and comfortable, the outside very liveable and pleasing to the eye - this type of package is tightly held and rarely available in Bungendore.
Inside the home you will find a beautiful and well fitted kitchen, a fully refurbished Victorian style bathroom and French doors opening onto the garden. The home is a two bedroom and study configuration at the moment, there is also additional accommodation with a separate flat /studio. This space has been recently renovated and it could make an ideal work from home space. Whilst the house has all the mod cons, including reverse cycle air conditioning, slow combustion wood boxes, granite bench tops and a walk-in pantry, there are also elements of the past - wooden floor boards, a well, a private cottage garden. Accessed via a pull down stair case is a loft room with a Juliet balcony, positioned to make the most of the morning sun.
This home has a beautiful English cottage style flowering garden to the front of the home and a lovely rambling garden at the back, featuring fragrant roses and shaded by well established trees that has been designed to be different with each of the seasons. There are 2 Daphne shrubs in the rear garden as well as Camellias and Azaleas. The Tansy Daisy is throughout the rear garden. The front, side and rear gardens are all full of bulbs (daffodils, jonquils, grape hyacinths, snow drops) as well as yellow and purple irises. There are many roses throughout the front, side and rear gardens. Fragrant Lilac trees add to the overall appeal to bees and humans in the back garden and the current owner has enjoyed the fruits of the lemon, blueberry, cherry, pears (buerre and Packham), plum, miniature nectarine and cherry trees dotted throughout the garden.
The garden can be entered via French doors opening off the living room at the rear of the house and there is side drive way access. There is a painted timber tea house and a very useful Colorbond storage shed tucked neatly into the back of the garden next to the two raised vegetable beds. A throw back to the bygone era is the original old well - all of this right in the middle of town.

At approximately 150 years old, the Cobblers Cottage is wearing its age very well, you can move straight in and enjoy this home from day one - this really is an opportunity to acquire a piece of rural Australian history and yet, be comfortable and very well located.
Please Note: This cottage has a small section of wall that encroaches on the boundary (it has been this way for approximately 150 years!). As a result of this gutter cleaning requires access from next door. Information and management of this can be provided by the agent.
