Starting life as a schoolhouse in 1905 this stunning farmhouse styled home combines the best of modern living with the charm of traditional design. Surrounded by lawn, Australian native fauna, a quarter acre “fruit salad” orchard, and wide 3m verandahs ensure the home is insulated from harsh weather and direct sun. The internal climate of the home is managed by reverse cycle split system heating and cooling with an enclosed Nectre fire place for romantic evenings.
The kitchen is grand with solid granite topped island bench with under bench seating and plenty of drawer space. Pantry cupboards and display shelving have been built in to match the under bench and overhead cupboards creating loads of storage space for a kitchen. Antique style tumbled floor tiles flow through the kitchen into bathroom, laundry, separate toilet and master bedroom. Benches and vanity units are all topped with solid granite slabs keeping a fresh sharp ageless feel to these heavy traffic areas. The living areas are combined in one large room and lineated by furniture into formal dining, lounge and sitting area. The floors are covered in Parachilna slate, adding an earthly feel, and complimenting the natural timber cathedral ceilings and dado walls. The owners have spared no expense on the extensive, loving renovation while creating their perfect getaway home.
