95 BULWER STREET, Tenterfield, NSW 2372

Too often, real estate ads focus on the specifics – the number of bedrooms. square meterage and how many cars it can garage. What’s missing is a sense of the soul of a place.

At 95 Bulwer Street, Tenterfield, that soul is immediately apparent when you pull up at the front gate with its heritage façade and pretty cottage gardens in full bloom.

If you’ve dreamed of experiencing the four seasons in a distinctive home in a burgeoning New England town, this early 1900s charmer sets the scene for your new lifestyle. Here, life shifts to a more enjoyable pace.

Days can (and should) revolve around slow lunches in the dense shade of mature trees; leisurely strolls along laneways to the cafes, wine bars, boutiques, and markets; and perhaps even backyard cricket matches on the spacious 2023 m2 block.

This delightful brick home is known by locals as “Phippard’s”, named after a much-respected chemist. The foyer opens into the formal lounge with a slow combustion stove and then into the reading room/playroom with extensive shelving and curved windows, which are a distinctive highlight of this home.

The combined lounge/dining also has a slow combustion stove and split-system air conditioning. The kitchen with a dining nook has a modern gas/electric stove and plenty of storage.

Three spacious bedrooms open into the sunroom and the fourth has its own entry, providing an opportunity to create separate guest quarters (subject to approval). Two feature their own vintage pedestal hand basins.

The renovated bathroom has a separate shower, bath and toilet while the large laundry has a second toilet and ample timber cupboards. The appeal of the sunroom can’t be understated – wrapping around the north-west sides it is a delightful solarium during winter while summers are best enjoyed in the sunny north-facing courtyard with its pond and fountain.

Outside, you’ll find a garage and carport, two sheds and an original laundry and outhouse (tiny home project, anyone?). An orchard, 5000-gallon rainwater tank, chook pen and established vegetable gardens provide the platform for self-sufficiency while the invaluable two-gate access from the back lane is a rare feature.

Being so close to town – as well as the two primary schools and the local high school – you can leave the car in the garage and enjoy the pace of life on foot, really settling into the friendly neighbourhood.

This family home has been lovingly cared for and is now ready to welcome its next chapter, starting with you.
