Standing the test of time this stone home has seen many changes to both itself and the surrounding area over the years.

Located on the top of Marchant Road there are glimpses of the rural lifestyle that was present not so long ago. Now the conveniences of modern life have crept closer with this home no exception, historic High Street, transport, sporting facilities and schools are only a short walk away.

A stone and red coin front faade is protected by a veranda on two sides while a carport runs down the side of the home and into the workshop and storage room.

This is a property with character with many established native trees and shrubs providing the rustic surround to the home.

Entertaining is a breeze with an elevated deck, incorporating a fire pit, covered with a rambling grape vine. For additional guested there is a granny flat or teenage retreat’ leading from the outdoor entertaining area. Plenty of storage is provided with rustic timber built in cupboards and a work bench doubling as a laundry area. Slate flooring is in this area with timber flooring featured in the bedroom along with an open fire place. Separate from the main home this could also be used as a games room.

In the main home there are three main rooms, while the front room is currently being used as a formal lounge area this room could easily be transformed to the master bedroom. This room features a slow combustion heater and direct outdoor access.

The two remaining bedrooms are large in size, feature timber sash windows and are located next to the bathroom. Comprising a bath, shower and toilet the bathroom has seen an update in recent years.

The heart of the home is located at the back of the home and features a rustic kitchen and open plan living and dining area. Full floor to ceiling timber framed windows allow plenty of light over the sunken dining area which gives a bright and airy feel to this area. A slow combustion heater provides winter warmth while an afternoon breeze cools the home in Summer.

Timber is the main feature of the character kitchen with a red gum bench top and timber fronted cupboard doors. The walls are also lined in timber. New timber look lino has been used well in the living and kitchen area while the remained of the home enjoys original polished timber boards.

There is a real warmth and character about the timber used throughout this home.

Opening from the dining area the side veranda is an ideal place to enjoy a drink at the end of a busy day.

A new roof has replaced the original over the main home and a new septic has been installed, there is gas cooking and plenty of rain water storage.

Pebbles and stones provide a low maintenance surround to the property which is bursting with the charm and character of yesteryear yet presents as a low maintenance first home or investment.

It is a credit to the current owner that the home has been up kept without loosing the character that is easily lost in modern homes of today.
