The country-style bathroom has a corner shower/spa and porcelain pedestal sink and highlights a beautiful leadlight window which captures the afternoon sun. The hot water is supplied by an extremely efficient Bosch gas continuous flow system. All three bedrooms are light-filled and spacious with quality carpets and light fittings. Touches of lead lighting and an open fire place in the master bedroom add colour and charm. There is a large outbuilding featuring a double garage, 2 utility rooms and laundry, with convenient access to the clothes line. The yard has garden and lawn areas with many stunning established trees and fruit trees, including delicious eating and cooking apple varieties. A garden shed provides extra storage space. The paddock is flat and farm machinery accessible, and has previously been enjoyed by horses, cows and miniature goats. Please note that it is currently inhabited by a friendly sheep named Scott who comes with the sale (if desired) and will help to keep the grass down. Don't miss out on this rare and charming delight.
