Inside, the central hallway separates the first three bedrooms in the traditional style of this period, the front two with double hung sash windows. The main, with its generous footprint, features a sunny sitting area, walk-in-robe and dual access to the bathroom. A claw foot bath is another nod to the home’s heritage and there is a shower, vanity and separate toilet.

The loungeroom offers an ambient wood heater while a split system and evaporative cooling are welcome modern comforts. Featuring decorative ceiling roses and cornice and pine lining ceilings.

Step through to the light and airy kitchen and dining space. The quaint country style kitchen with 900mm oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher.

French doors flow to the undercover alfresco for peaceful relaxation and entertaining. Beyond, the low maintenance rear yard with feature paving continues to charm with a blend of cottage, Mediterranean and native plantings. Fruit trees bear apples, cherries, apricots, citrus and grapes. Three water tanks hold 30,000 litres and the home is connected to all town services.
