ENGLAND'S CREEK
England's Creek provides you with the perfect meeting point between traditional country values and inspired modern living.
Equipped with an exciting set of atmospherics, England's Creek cleverly combines its surroundings-influenced home, tranquil gardens and larger block to give it its own stand-out identity.
England Creek's 351m2 homestead was constructed over 2 phases, with a light filled, glazed, entry foyer used to link the original bedroom wing of the home to the more recent living area.
This north-facing addition was orientated and designed by the talented building designer John Armes, whose brief was to create a big light filled internal space, plus capture the encompassing views over the surrounding gardens, amazing water features and outlying block areas.
The result was an inspirational 122m2 solar passive Baronial Hall style of living area that perfectly splices the home to the gardens. It's a creative visual and physical seamless experience.
The combination of huge double glazed windows, high coffered ceilings and sealed concrete floors provide one refined yet tactile living space.
The home's fully equipped kitchen has plenty of meal preparation and storage spaces, a very chic' 90cm stainless steel cooker and massive 290x120 stone topped island bench where you can line the kids up at breakfast time each morning. If you need even more kitchen pantry space there's a 21m2 laundry/utility room tucked away behind the kitchen wall for your preserves, wine and other goodies.
Expertly planned, the gardens consist of green lawns, mature specimen trees, colourful flower beds and wild duck loving water feature ponds. Designed for reflective tranquillity there's plenty of shady spots to pull up a garden chair and sip on your favourite Sunday afternoon brew.
England's Creek's 40 acre block is perfect for grazing sheep, horses and pure recreational enjoyment.
There's also an exciting option to collaboratively purchase the adjacent 31 acre property, 33 Butts Road (aka, England's Creek Vineyard), property which shares the England's Creek boundary. This complementary purchase would give you a combined and adjoining 71 acre parcel of land with a productive vineyard and enhanced rural production dynamics.
Essentially, England's Creek is an expressive and superbly composed rural recreation property.
