With echoes of the early 20th century around every corner this character home retains many of its original features and will reward renovators willing to put in some hard work.

Built from locally quarried stone, this residence has been relatively untouched and patina and early 1900's elements abound.

Built in the symmetric style that excites enthusiasts of this era, this home comprises of 4 main rooms with a 'lean to' at the rear in the traditional style.

Set on a curious corner allotment, this allotment provides vehicular access to the front and from the side making the most of its advantageous disposition.

Merely a short stroll to all the conveniences this effervescent township offers this property is simply seconds away from excellent public and private schooling, post office, IGA, a number of churches of various denominations and all the accompaniments of a township that is planning for the next generation as much as it is respectful to its first century and a half.

Upon entry, press tin adorns the ceilings whilst hardwood floors flow throughout the 4 main rooms. With 3 active fireplaces each offering their own intricacies and decoration.

The rooms are generously proportioned and because of the size deliver flexibility and additional utility in a way modern residences are unable.

The lean to presents with the original wood oven in one room and the more recently built kitchen on the other so almost offering 2 kitchens. These old wood ovens are highly collectible and are a fantastic feature to retain and it's easy to see that a renovation to the lean to in the fullness of time could better integrate the old and new in a much more seamless way.

Still presenting with an old 'out house' although fortunately there are amenities in the main bathroom so uneasy outside excursions for relief in the middle of the night need not occur.

With ample shedding to satisfy the home hobbyist or simply those that need space to store this is the ideal space to tinker a quiet Sunday away in.
