CLAVERTON
Offered to the market for the first time in more than half a century, Claverton represents both a significant piece of Red Hill's local history and a unique opportunity for the future. Set privately amidst 6.2 acres (approx.) of parkland dotted with superb old specimen trees and native bush, the property sits at the start of the Red Hill-Merricks riding trail and just a stone's throw from the village shops.
Built in the 1950s as the new home of the Red Hill South Post Office, grocery and produce store owner, the existing three-bedroom residence is in well-maintained original condition with lovely period features including mellow timber floors, traditional picture rails and large windows overlooking the garden that may be retained to lend instant character to any future renovation/development of the home.
As a wonderful weekend retreat or very special permanent abode, this is a truly unique location where the kids can throw a saddle on the pony and head off down the trail, all village amenities including the popular Epicurean Centre are on your doorstep and even the famous Red Hill Market is within striking distance.
In addition, useful outbuildings include the original packing shed complete with semi self-contained studio accommodation, while the property is serviced by extensive rainwater storage and a bore.
A wide timber deck offers the perfect spot to soak up the serene surrounds, while inside a lovely sense of time standing still combines with a most practical layout that can be enjoyed immediately while your plans take shape.
A traditional formal lounge with wood fire sits adjacent to the open plan retro kitchen and meals area, while a hallway links three bedrooms including the master with walk-in robe and ensuite plus a neat family bathroom. Extras include electric heating, separate laundry and a handy mudroom.
