19 Fielding Road, College View, Qld 4343

There is something special about a home with a full-length verandah yet keeps you close to the places that matter. Positioned in College View, just moments from the University of Queensland's Gatton campus, this three-bedroom home sits on a generous 1,125m² allotment with rural outlook and plenty of scope to make it your own. Ready for renovation, this is an opportunity for buyers with vision to breathe new life into an established home, enhance its existing features and create a property that reflects their own style, all in a location that balances country surroundings with everyday convenience.

THE LOCATION – RURAL OUTLOOK, EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE
• Close to UQ Gatton: A convenient position near the university campus, making the property worth considering for owner-occupiers, renovators and buyers exploring its potential for future investment.
• Views: Enjoy a rural outlook from the home, bringing a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape.
• 1,125m² allotment: A generous residential block offering more outdoor space than a typical suburban yard, with room to enjoy the garden and make improvements over time.
• Rural Zoning: Offers greater flexibility for a range of lifestyle pursuits, rural activities and potential future uses, providing opportunities to tailor the property to your needs, subject to council requirements.
• Close to Gatton: Just 5 minutes from Gatton's shopping, schools, services and amenities, while enjoying the peace and quiet of a rural setting.

THE HOME – A RENOVATION OPPORTUNITY WITH CHARACTER
• Timber floors beneath the carpets: An appealing feature for renovators to investigate, with the opportunity to uncover and restore the existing flooring if suitable.
• Three bedrooms: All feature built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans, with carpet underfoot providing a practical starting point for a refresh.
• Open Lounge and Dining: Positioned off the kitchen, the connected lounge and dining areas offer a functional layout with ceiling fans and excellent potential to renovate as is or reconfigure the space to create a more contemporary, open-plan design.
• Kitchen with Integrated Laundry: Featuring an electric oven and cooktop, pantry, double sink and tiled flooring, the kitchen provides a practical foundation for renovation or modernisation. A large built-in cupboard accommodates the internal laundry, complete with sink, power and space for a washing machine and dryer.
• Full-length timber front verandah: A defining feature of the home, providing an inviting place to sit, enjoy the outlook and peace and quiet.
• Bathroom and Separate Toilet: Featuring a shower-over-bath arrangement and separate toilet room, both spaces retain attractive terrazzo flooring that could be incorporated into a renovation of the existing layout. Alternatively, combining the two rooms would create a substantial bathroom with excellent potential for reconfiguration and modernisation.
• Useful storage: Two hallway cupboards offer additional space to keep household essentials organised.

OUTDOOR SPACE & ADDITIONAL STRUCTURES
• Covered carport: An existing undercover parking area provides shelter for a vehicle adjacent to the house, with a separate structure at the rear adding further flexibility.
• Two-room transportable building: Measuring approximately 9m x 3m, this additional structure may suit a range of uses, subject to its condition, services and any relevant approvals.
• Carport over the transportable: The approximately 7.5m x 5m covered area provides extra sheltered space around the rear structure.
• Garden shed: An approximately 5.5m x 2.7m shed offers useful room for garden tools, equipment and storage.
• Mostly fenced yard: Existing fencing provides a starting point for defining outdoor areas and planning future landscaping.
• 20-Foot Shipping Container: An existing shipping container is included with the property, offering additional storage potential or an opportunity to refurbish and repurpose to suit your needs. The container is in need of some attention but provides a useful starting point for those willing to undertake improvements.
• Established frangipani: A mature front garden feature adding character and a welcoming touch to the property's street appeal.

PRACTICAL FEATURES & FUTURE SCOPE
• Front and rear access: Timber stairs with steel stringers at the front and rear provide access to the home.
• Established construction: Metal cladding, a corrugated roof and steel stumps form part of the home's existing structure.
• Solar Power System: An existing 18 panel solar power system provides reduced ongoing energy costs.
• Water Supply and Septic System: The property is serviced by an existing 5000 gallon rainwater tank and septic system, providing essential infrastructure for rural living. With no town water connection, the property relies on rainwater storage for its water supply, offering a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
• Scope to personalise: From updating the kitchen and bathroom to refreshing the interior and landscaping the yard, buyers can consider improvements that suit their budget and plans.

THE LOCKYER VALLEY – REGIONAL LIVING WITH CONNECTIVITY
One of College View's greatest attractions is its peaceful, lightly populated rural setting, where homes are few, yet everyday conveniences remain remarkably close. Just 5 minutes from Gatton's town centre, residents can easily access supermarkets, schools, healthcare, shopping and essential services, while the charming township of Forest Hill offers welcoming country pubs, popular cafés and a relaxed village atmosphere. The property's proximity to the University of Queensland's Gatton Campus is another significant advantage, particularly for investors seeking to appeal to university staff, students and those working within the surrounding agricultural and education sectors. With only a limited number of residences in College View, opportunities to secure property in this quiet rural locality are relatively uncommon. Add convenient access to Toowoomba in approximately 30 minutes and Brisbane in around 1 hour and 15 minutes, and this location offers an appealing combination of rural privacy, everyday practicality and potential investment appeal.
