Beautiful Sprigg Cottage is your quintessential character cottage set on a magical 4.4 acre (approx.) allotment. Circa 1870 with modern extensions and updates and set among the most stunning botanic garden with an elevated aspect. A park like setting with rolling lawns, mature deciduous trees, stately gums and winter creek.
With a century old hedge and impressive circular driveway to welcome you, you will enjoy exploring this secluded paradise. The residence is surrounded by pretty, established gardens and the floor plan is currently utilised as three bedrooms, study, two bathrooms, two living areas and additional sunroom. The study is of generous proportions and has previously been utilized as a fourth bedroom.
The renovated kitchen is light and bright and centrally located with all the mod cons including Miele appliances, island bench and Aga cooker (to name a few) and the sunroom provides a seamless link between the original cottage and the more modern extension - cleverly designed by Rebecca Arbon and constructed by local builder Colony Homes in 2006. There are two distinct living zones, the original cottage with formal dining and living areas which could just as easily be utilized as a more casual living space, being close to the kitchen and with a lovely combustion fire and feature mantel for those cold winter months. The master bedroom has lovely picture windows from which you can enjoy the garden view once again, a spacious walk in robe and full size bathroom are within easy reach.
The rear extension consists of bedrooms two and three, well located in their own wing, along with a family bathroom and well set up laundry. The other wing is made for living and is linked by the sunroom. This living area, along with the sunroom, takes in views of the courtyard and is a lovely light filled spot to sit and take in the gorgeous views of the garden on all sides. The home has plenty of heating and cooling options with three ducted reverse cycle air conditioning systems, combustion fire and the new extension has double glazing throughout and convenient, feature gas log fire to the living area.
Outside infrastructure includes; quality bore water, garaging for two cars, garden shed, plenty of rainwater storage, partial boundary fencing, a fenced paddock and orchard with a variety of fruit trees (apple, plum, avocado, lemon, mandarin, loquat, apricot) as well as gooseberry and raspberry bushes.
