* Foxtel in 3 rooms Charismatic is a fitting term to describe the Amble-in-Lodge.With all of the bundled charm, magnetism and presence you’d expect to encounter in a leading property you will simply fall in love with it. Orginally designed to be a country-style B&B the property’s nexus of look, feel & functionally is pure magic! Pleasing to the eye, the Australian colonial perspectives are cleverly graced by a Surrey-style infusion of gables and decorations. Conifers are established around most of the property’s perimeter ensuring year-round privacy & embracing shelter. A red scoria driveway leads you up to the home with its fragrant rose beds & garden shrubs lapping up against the deep verandahs. The home is lovely as it was planned as a welcoming guests’ retreat. Its emblematic country entry foyer, sweet English-style lounge/sitting room with feature fireplace, patterned cornices & excellent soft furnishings all add an enjoyable touch of class that can’t be missed. Other excellent points include the open-plan kitchen/meals/sun room with its direct access to the alfresco & open orange deck, 2 bedroom/ensuite combinations & a spacious rumpus room with glass door access to the gardens. Naturally, the verandah areas provide a cloistered meeting point between home & garden.There’s a deep blue fully landscaped swimming pool on the northern side of the home where the horses come right up to the fence. Yes, the moggies do get a tad amused at those silly humans being so keen to jump into water.The 5 acre block is a beauty. The home’s position towards the block’s from has left ample room for a tennis court, riding arean, stables & shed; yes all of the above, not a selection. If you are into horses there is a community riding trail that wends its way over to the village public arena just down the road.Essentially Amble-in-Lodge is a sensational property with a tingling capacity to fulfil many an expectation. It is a distinctive property with an elegance factor of its very own.
