Description

This character-filled Federation cottage is an elegant and surprisingly spacious family home, with a welcoming sunny colour palette, bull-nosed verandah (perfect for catching the morning sun), decorative turned posts and fretwork corners. Boasting a separate matching garage, this property is simply packed with old world charm!

Entering the home through a stunning stained glass panelled front door, you will find open plan living/dining/kitchen, 3 spacious bedrooms, ensuite and bathroom, hall space all on one ‘living’ level. This surprise-package leads down a light-filled enclosed staircase to the rear ground level and under-house space, where you will find a sizeable craft room, mud room, third toilet and the laundry.

On a huge 1024m2 block in the sought-after hinterland village of The Channon, your privacy is assured while conveniently being a short few steps away from a long list of amenities including schools, the General Store and the well-patronised Tavern. Famous as the Home of the Country Market, once a month The Channon becomes a hub of social activity, colour and entertainment!

This whole property is delightful. From the cottage garden to the rock wall terraces to the amazing array of trees and plants providing home grown produce for you to enjoy.

This home will delight the senses and provide comfortable living for those who wish to enjoy the peace of the country and the convenience of amenities. Consider the following features, view the gallery of photos, then book your inspection by phoning John or Samara.
