Built-in 1915, this vintage beauty is part of the history of Cambrai. Originally built for the son of the town blacksmith, it has been extended over the years to include a woodcrafter's workshop and the original Cambrai bank.
Comprising a spacious family home built of stone and brick, plus huge workshop and old bank room, this is a beautiful and comfortable home for family and guests. It stands on over half an acre of established gardens, with lovely shade trees and meandering pathways to explore.
The main house has four bedrooms plus a home office, separate kitchen, lounge, and meals ar-ea. A substantial verandah wraps around the home, with a glorious semi-enclosed outdoor entertaining area at the back. It comes complete with a built-in pizza oven that's sure to delight your guests!
Polished timber floors run through the original part of the home, which has the soaring ceilings, ornate detailing and fireplaces characteristic of its era. The sparkling modern bathroom boasts floor-to-ceiling tiles, while the 'Courtroom' toilet is just one of many quirky features.
The retro kitchen is a delightful space that will become the hub of your new home. Discover the tiled nook where the original wood oven once stood, ample bench space and storage, with enough space for a breakfast table for those busy mornings.
The old Woodcrafter's Workshop and Gallery could be put to any number of uses. Standing at a huge 18m x 14m, it comprises an enormous garage with three-phrase power, twin roller doors and vehicle pit. The show room and workshop adjoin, with a shady front verandah to the entire building. The skillion roof on the eastern side is new.
Set just 10 meters from the main house, it substantially expands the overall living area and is ideal for buyers who want to run their own business.
The old Bank would make unique guest quarters, studio, or a teenage retreat. It is freshly paint-ed, with a new veranda roof and steps, and has been rewired, re-stumped and tied down. The original Bank sign in the kitchen will stay with the house as a charming nod to this rich history.
The main house has been substantially renovated to ensure delicious comfort without losing any of the property's original charm. The bathroom, toilet and laundry are newly renovated, with a slow combustion in the lounge and air conditioners throughout. Inside and outside have been fully repainted, with new floor coverings in several rooms and wooden floors repolished and re-paired.
Gardeners will love the many raised garden beds, including a substantial plant house with shelter walls and overhead netting. Black granite pathways have been sourced from Black Hill. Look out for the emu in the side garden!
