The minute you pull up outside this very authentic, architecturally designed Manor-style residence, you will expect to encounter something very special. The well established, beautifully landscaped gardens set off the elegant frontage to a tee’ and the separate double garage building lends an air of English Country to the very formal Main House’. The driveway leading to the garage also provides gated access to the rear of the home and a few steps up to the courtyard frontage and graceful gateway and portico.

The welcoming entrance leads direct to the formal lounge and dining, beautifully set up to take advantage of the picture window’ views of the gardens at the front. The crme-coloured carpet and royal burgundy curtains compliment the high ceilings with beautiful feature lighting. French doors lead through to a large storage area on the left and a powder room on the right. The powder room has rather trendy’ black and white chequered tiles with floral features and a solid timber vanity unit to add that classy’ touch.

From here we step into a large open plan area, with huge country kitchen in solid timber with tasteful heritage green bench tops. The kitchen is well appointed with modern appliances, large pantry, dishwasher and breakfast bar/servery. The large meals area offers that farmhouse’ atmosphere of all the family gathering in the kitchen for a casual brekkie and sharing the coming events of the day whilst looking out through picturesque windows to the garden surrounds. The family room is a good size and complete with Kanmantoo Stone Fireplace and plenty of light, bright windows to welcome in the Winter sun. From the family room are double doors to the outdoor entertaining area consisting of full length deck/pergola entertaining featuring good solid timber choral fencing and lattice features for the grapevines and creepers to curl their decorative patterns. This undercover entertaining is surrounded by gorgeous deciduous trees filtering warmth and light in the cold Winter months and shade to cool those hot sizzling Summer days. This entertaining area has a very intimate atmosphere, with delicate lighting and a casual, surreal ambiance. A protected haven to enjoy both the Summer and Winter outdoors. From the deck we step down to rear access of the garage (both with door and roller access) and gates to the front of the home. There is a courtyard-style rear yard, landscaped and outfitted perfectly to use the space for clothes to dry, garden shed and room to exercise the green thumb’ and get a new clutch of plants ready for the next season’s planting.

A beautiful balustrade staircase leads to the upstairs level and once again, a bevy of lovely surprises. The Master bedroom, to start, is of extra large proportions and includes a study area overlooking beautiful views across the gorge what better corner to create and work at leisure? This bedroom has a lovely private balcony, ideal for a spot of reading or quiet cuppa to start or end the day with the sun rising or declining with filtering lights through the trees. The Master has a generous sized walk-in robe and formal luxury ensuite with spa bath, shower, vanity and toilet. In shades of deep green and gold against a refined crme surrounds, this truly brings out the majestic feel of the home.

There are 3 other bedrooms on this level and the main bathroom quite extensive in size featuring the crme backdrop and mahogany trim. The home is serviced with reverse cycle air conditioning downstairs, as well as that gorgeous fire place and ducted evaporative cooling upstairs.

This home is regal and characteristic and it has an individual atmosphere and an old world’ charm. It will require an astute eye and discerning buyer to recognize its true worth after all, diamonds never lose their value and the more facets, the better the quality!
