Applewood
From the moment you arrive Applewood's charm and romance captures your heart. You are welcomed with its cute bullnose veranda and ornate door, this is a stunning piece of history. Initially part of a large apple orchard, this historically significant homestead (circa 1890) is now beautifully set on a manageable 1-acre allotment (approx.).
Set well back from the road, this charming 4-5 bedroom opportunity has a flexible layout and can cater for the large extended family with a main house to the front and cottage to the rear.
Passing a mature mini orchard, the lengthy tree-lined driveway leads to double garaging behind secure gates for pets and enjoy fresh eggs from the hens in the established chicken coop.
The period 2-3 bedroom main residence includes a formal dining room, country kitchen, two living zones and sympathetically-renovated laundry-to-bathroom facilities. In-keeping with its antique origins, the interior retains its original character comprising double-hung windows, decorative lead-lighting, timber-panel doors, pressed tin features, floorboards, Cedar-lined walls and soaring 13ft ceilings.
Enjoy rural views out on the covered entertaining deck straight from the dining room, or enjoy the shade under the century-old English Elm which separates the rear cottage from the main residence.
Lifestyle investors will love the "turn-key" bed and breakfast potential here, new owners could begin taking guests immediately in the 2-bedroom cottage at the rear.
