Located at 6 Padbury Road in the welcoming village of Walkaway, The Stables is a beautifully restored stone cottage with origins dating back to 1887. Originally built as stables and later converted into a residence, this remarkable home blends authentic heritage character with modern comfort.
Set on a generous 986sqm block, the home features two bedrooms plus a versatile third room suitable as a guest bedroom, study, or home office. The spacious interior showcases original jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, traditional mud and limewash walls, a large formal lounge, separate dining area, bay kitchen, and a generously sized bathroom. A charming pot belly fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point during the cooler months, while split-system air conditioning and ceiling fans ensure year-round comfort. Additional conveniences include NBN connectivity, electric hot water, and a functional laundry.
Outside, established gardens and lawns provide a peaceful setting, complemented by rainwater tanks, driveway access to a lean-to and storage shed, and a welcoming front verandah. An outdoor patio and sitting area offer the perfect space to relax, entertain family and friends, or simply enjoy the tranquillity of village life. Positioned alongside the historic railway line, the property retains a unique connection to the region's rich history.
One of Walkaway's greatest attractions is its convenient location. The village is situated approximately 28 kilometres south-east of Geraldton, placing major shopping centres, schools, medical services, restaurants, beaches, and Geraldton Airport within an easy 20-minute drive. The popular Walkaway Hotel is just a short stroll away, providing a friendly local meeting place where residents and visitors can enjoy meals, refreshments, and the welcoming atmosphere of this close-knit community.
