In the charming hamlet of Newbury, a six-minute drive from Trentham, sits The Birches. This wonderfully maintained 1960's brick home stands proudly on 9932m2, surrounded by beautiful cool climate gardens and offering the best country life has to offer.
From the moment you step inside the entry foyer, you notice the quality of this build. Tasmanian Oak floors greet you and lead you to the separate lounge room featuring a delightful bay window, large wood burning fire with brick surround and timber mantle and ceiling fan. Beautiful 60's sliding glass doors open to the open plan kitchen and dining room, with a feature set of muntin windows providing lovely garden views and direct access to the charming alfresco area. The well-equipped kitchen includes timber benchtops and island bench, SMEG dishwasher and six burner cooktop and electric oven, and large pantry.
The home offers three generous bedrooms all with quality carpet; two featuring built in robes and share an updated central bathroom featuring a tessellated style floor tile, shower, and vanity adjacent to a separate toilet. Adjoining is the laundry / mudroom providing access to the rear covered verandah and supplying plenty of extra storage and space to hang your coats and kick your gardening boots off.
At the rear of the home is a spacious study / work from home office with charming bespoke cabinetry of the era, offering the perfect place for your book collection and other loved collectables. The built-in desk offers lovely glimpses of the chicken palace and verdant permaculture gardens, including espaliered apples, raised galvanized steel vegetable beds, up to fifty fruit trees and glass house offering an opportunity to live more sustainably with high rainfall and rich, red volcanic soil providing perfect conditions for those with a green thumb.
This home is set amongst enchanting gardens, creating garden rooms to gather with family and friends or simply seek solitude surrounded by the beauty of nature. A stone wall surrounds an alfresco area perfect for a lazy picnic lunch, while the stately arbour flanked by manicured, hedged hornbeams presents an opportunity for reflection or just the spot to enjoy the sunshine.
A glorious heritage Oak watches over the gardens which include a mix of spring bulbs – daffodils and tulips providing a riot of annual colour – together with established cool climate Rhododendrons, Peonies, and Daphne.
The property includes all the infrastructure to keep you comfortable all year round and features reverse cycle heating / cooling, magnetite retrofit double glazing, solar panels generating 15 kw's of power, inverter, and Red Back battery with 14 kw's of storage, together with an economical heat pump HWS.
Outside you will find a spacious barn shed with dual roller door entries, a single garage and carport, and handy exterior toilet, firefighting hose, and house sprinklers, together with two fully fenced paddocks with water for a couple of horses, sheep or as is the case resident cows.
The Birches is your escape to the good life, offering the peace and tranquility of country living only mere minutes to all the cafes, pubs, galleries, and gift stores of neighbouring Trentham. A 90-minute drive from Melbourne via the Calder Freeway, with V/Line services located in Woodend and Kyneton, this is your chance to enjoy the best of both worlds.
