Wide verandahs threaded with climbing rose and wisteria set the tone of this charming country home resting happily on its 2.2-hectare site. Life here is easy to imagine - the mostly level property boasts paddocks, stables with walk-out yards, a chicken run, fruit trees and raised vegetable beds. At the heart of the family-focused layout is a two-storey extension with a spacious open-plan family room, a well-appointed kitchen and meals area, and a generous home office.
A restrained choice of colours and materials imposes a quiet cohesion between the original Kestrel home and a 2007 two-storey extension. High ceilings, natural tones and large windows bring an atmosphere of calm to the interior spaces. A flowing floorplan with multiple living zones, large, well-appointed junior bedrooms, and a first-floor parents' retreat combine to deliver a generous family property tailor-made for country life.
The large kitchen forms a natural gathering place with warm-toned timber benchtops, shaker-style cabinets and a large, walk-in pantry ready to be stocked with a bounty of produce gathered on the property. A slow-combustion fireplace brings cosy comfort to this central living zone, while large windows frame ever-changing rural views. Verandahs extending along two sides of the home expand the practical living space and deliver an idyllic setting for outdoor living and entertaining, no matter the time of day or the season.
