House description
“"Historic Ben Ledi"”
Spacious country living, exuding timeless charm.
Much like the mountain in Scotland that the property is named after, 'Ben Ledi,' constructed c.1900, is quite the landmark. Positioned on a substantial 2,025sqm parcel of land minutes from the Parkes CBD.
The historic 'Ben Ledi' residence is rich in architectural beauty and grandeur, sympathetically refurbished to suit a range of purposes, potentially a principal home, gracious family residence, weekend escape or accommodation pursuit.
This landmark property features an elaborate gable, steep roofline and a wide wrap around verandah. Venture inside to rooms of grand proportions with 13ft ceilings, ornate cedar timberwork, elegant hallway, marble fireplaces, original floorboards, French doors and leadlight windows - all typical of the era.
There are a number of formal and informal rooms including the formal dining room and central lounge room with wood fire. The charming fully serviced country kitchen includes beautiful cabinetry, brand new bench tops and butler's pantry. There are 4 large bedrooms, 3 furnished with open fireplaces, 3 bathrooms and spacious laundry/office area with ample storage.
Positioned on a large half acre block also includes a 2 bay garage and carport. External toilet and 2nd laundry room with extensive cabinetry. Due to the home being elevated, there is extra storage underneath the property.
Privately set away from the main residence is a charming cottage, currently utilised as a relaxing creative studio space although it could be adapted for a variety of purposes from private retreat, home office to children's play room. No matter where you are on the property you can admire the established country garden abundant with cottage flowers, hedges, ornamental trees, vegetables and roses.
Located in East Parkes, Ben Ledi is minutes from the CBD, shopping, restaurants, walking tracks, local schools and recreational parks. Parkes offers all the benefits that a tree change has to offer; striking rural scenes, a friendly community and expansive communal spaces. Parkes is a 1*hr commute from the regional centre of Orange, and just 350*km from Sydney.
With more and more people working from home, now is a great opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle without forgoing connectivity.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire such a property, with location, history and excellent original condition. Historic Ben Ledi is a truly exceptional offering and perfect if you are thinking of an exciting country lifestyle change or have a vision to own a federation home, pursue an accommodation venture or both.
