This very well-loved cottage, set on an impressive 1113sqm allotment, is your family's chance to become part of the tight-knit community of Holmesville. When stepping over the threshold of this charming home you will note that the property has been carefully updated to include a range of modern luxuries whilst staying true to its original, nostalgic design. 10ft high ceilings and stained-glass windows characterise the 3 large bedrooms, containing built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. The new bathroom, kitchen and laundry have been tastefully re-designed to tie together the original features of the home and a desire for modern comfort and convenience. The light-filled, open plan kitchen, living and dining areas - heated by combustion fireplace and cooled by ducted air-conditioning - open onto a stunning covered outdoor entertaining area which looks out over the enormous, grassed yard.
