There have been many chapters in the story of this humble character cottage in the farming community of Rosevale. Perhaps you would like to write the next? Located on five pretty acres, and only twenty minutes from the thriving Legana shopping hub, this property could be a great renovation project and/or forever home, or a lock-and-leave weekender perfect for those times when you really need re-engage with the peace and quiet that can only be found in the countryside, with no noise but the singing of the birds and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
Clad in aluminium with an iron roof, the low maintenance exterior means you’ll have plenty of time to focus on the inside, which is in need of a little sprucing up! In its current configuration, the cottage comprises three bedrooms, an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, sun room, and two bathrooms. The living areas are spacious and well-suited to family life, offering picturesque views over the surrounding countryside, with a red-bricked fireplace at its heart and high, characterful raked ceilings. The kitchen also boasts a large fireplace, updated Westinghouse stove, plenty of storage, and a light-filled mud room off the kitchen and has plenty of potential for even more. A seven metre long sun room could be a great place to sit quietly in the sunshine, winter or summer, and whilst it’s a little bare at the moment, there’s plenty of potential for this room to be much, much more. The three roomy bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms: one with a shower over a bathtub and a toilet; the other a shower, toilet and vanity with storage, and uninterrupted, and very private, pastoral views.
The five acres have been divided into a well-fenced house yard and paddock. The largely level house yard is a blank canvas for those with a green thumb, and a couple of sheep, some alpacas or a pony could call the paddock home. Established trees planted along the boundary serve as a wind-break, and two impressive oaks are a delightful feature. There’s plenty of water to hand via two 20k litre water tanks. Handy to the home, is a double carport and a double garage/ workshop, with an attached lean-to that could serve as a wood store.
