7 Manse Road, Strathalbyn SA 5255

Locally known to date back to 1839 and built as one of the workers cottages for Glenbarr "Green Gables" is a lady with a past. And comprising some 205sqm of living space could she feature in your future?

A wide front verandah and cottage charm welcome you to the home where the four front rooms still enjoy many historic features. This original part of the home comprises two living spaces, open fireplaces and floorboards plus a potbelly heater for the chilly winter evenings. There is also access to the large two-room cellar - sure to make any wine aficionado jealous!

Step through the original back door into the more modern, but very complementary extension. There is the spacious kitchen/meals area with a huge walk-in pantry and dishwasher and sliding doors onto the north facing alfresco area. Adjacent is the large rumpus room with raked ceilings, slow combustion heater and sliding doors that open onto the large all-weather entertaining area that overlooks the private gardens.

The huge master bedroom has wall to wall built-in-robe, ensuite and sliding doors opening onto the main all-weather entertaining area. Adjacent is the study/nursery with built-in robe.

A double garage/workshop under the main roof, tool shed and chicken run enhance the country appeal. Colourful and established gardens wrap around the home, creating pockets of interest for children or quieter spots for a cup of tea and access via Manse Road or historic Melville Lane is an added bonus.
