" ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY "
If you yearn for a more simple life why not venture out to beautiful Newham and cast your eye over this timeless north facing mud brick two storey home, set on slightly just under 5 acres in a meandering country garden with a peaceful outlook over an ornamental lake.
Reclaimed timbers from a NSW railway bridge form the framework, together with cedar joists and windows and a stained glass door from the former Sherlock Holmes Hotel in St Kilda Road add to the appeal.
Combustion heating in the lounge room and an Rayburn cooker ( with water jacket ) keeps the home warm, with cool summer days ahead assured with the thermal mass. The kitchen features a generous bench area ideal for a large family celebration, upstairs provides 3 bedrooms, study and storeroom.
Brick paved verandahs, a courtyard and stunning shade trees add to the appeal.
Only minutes drive from the Newham General Store and Primary School and within easy access of the Calder Freeway and Woodend Train Station, this muddie could just be the one !
