This cottage in the Adelaide Hills has all the charm and character you would expect from a near century-old property.
In the quaint village of Paracombe, Sam Doman and Robert Slekenics welcome you to 2090 North East Road.
Located just past the township of Inglewood, the approximate 44-acre block has an established cottage constructed from recycled bricks that originally came from an Adelaide factory then reused to build this lovely home. The surrounding garden which makes it feel very private could be deemed an orchard with approximately 27 fruit trees and raised vegetable garden- this is the sort of garden that will no doubt surprise you!
Like all good country properties, the front veranda has been the place of choice for morning coffee.
Inside, the lounge room has a toasty combustion fire in the corner, while split system is also handy if you're home too late to get the wood fire cranking.
Solid timber polished flooring is a noticeable feature of the property as you walk through the home, and has had the dividing walls in the centre removed to give an open feel to the home.
The master bedroom offers views and lots of light, and the present owners have built in floor to ceiling robes that lead to the room's spacious bathroom, which has a freestanding bath.
The second bedroom is also a generous size (BYO wardrobe if desired or maybe buy one second-hand to suit the cottage after you move in).
To access the third bedroom, you will need to head upstairs where you will find the nice sized room that has views towards the property.
At the very rear of the home (through which most people enter) is the study with built in bench and cupboards this could easily be removed if needed and utilized as a fourth bedroom. As is you could imagine packing the kids off to school and with work from home options commonly available brewing up your cup of tea or coffee and leisurely walking into the office with an abundance of light and beautiful views towards the property itself.
The teppanyaki style kitchen features the electric stove top conveniently located in the generously sized solid wood dining table. The kitchen also features a tiled splash back and solid wood cabinetry it may very well inspire you to buy some fresh produce from the local stalls on the back roads or harvest some fruit from the garden and you could whip up an apple pie or two?
When it comes to the bathroom, if you like to soak in a deep, freestanding tub (preferably with a glass of wine and a good book) then chances are you may want to invest in a 'do not enter' sign. This room also has a beautiful basin, that perfectly suits the home's era.
The laundry does double as the main bathroom with a enclosed shower right next to the machine so not such a hassle to get the kids to get there clothes to the right place.
At the side of the home, a gazebo commands attention, thanks to its vine coverage and table and chairs offering a lovely place to sit and read or simply take in some peace and quiet in nature. There's ample shedding, with the primary shed being 6x9m which is both concreted and powered, other shedding includes a 5x6m shed and the old dairy 3.4x11m. Rainwater tanks give a total capacity of 105,000l provide all the water you need.
Perfectly set up to run sheep, cows or multiple horses. There is a good size dam in the back paddock and plenty of motorbike riding room for the kids!
The owners have put in solar which is 7.5KW and is connected to 2 batteries storing 6.5KW each.
They have enjoyed watching the changing of the seasons and all the beautiful colours, which are evident not only in their garden but in the area at large.
Perhaps the best news if you work in the city, is that Adelaide is about half an hour's drive away but when you head back to the hills, it's likely you'll feel another world away.
Could this be your next country home or hideaway in the Hills?
