This neat cottage with a big shed on a huge block is a real treat for couples or small families aspiring to country life without leaving the convenience of shops, schools, and entertainment behind. The impressive property is only a few minutes’ drive from the centre of town, though its peaceful location in a quiet spot with abundant birdlife and farmland at the end of the street makes it feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle. Built of Hardiplank and iron, the home sits back from the road on its grassy 2,150sqm block. A few native trees provide shelter and privacy and there’s an assortment of established fruit trees and a rainwater tank as well as space for growing veggies and installing a chook run for fresh eggs – all the essentials for a country lifestyle. A front veranda shelters the glass sliding door leading into the cottage. Comfortable and inviting inside, it features a reverse cycle air-conditioned open living room comprising the lounge and meals area. The adjoining kitchen is a practical workspace with a stainless-steel gas cooker, a pantry and timber bench tops. Sure to be the most popular spot for drinks with friends and family barbecues is the fabulous paved rear patio. Overlooking the expanse of lush grass at the rear of the home, this is a big area with pull-down blinds for shelter and enough space for parties. Back inside, the queen-sized master bedroom has an adjoining walk-in robe, and the second bedroom is a double. Off the laundry is the shower room with vanity and toilet, and there’s a handy storeroom as well. A major attraction is the freestanding Colorbond shed. Sited near the rear boundary, it has a footprint of approximately 12m x 8m plus a concrete apron. It’s big enough for four vehicles and with high-clearance doors and power connected, it’s a dream shed for tradies or serious hobbyists. There’s also a single carport adjoining the house and ample off-road parking for guests. The property is among similarly sized holdings in a cul-de-sac close to a major supermarket, liquor stores, a fuel outlet, the cinema, high school, and TAFE. Ideal for those with “toys” such as the boat/caravan, or even car enthusiasts, this is a beautifully established lifestyle property promising comfort, tranquility, and nature’s bounty in an idyllic green setting.
