Business at the Front, Family at the Back

Privately obscured from the road in the charming hamlet of Witchcliffe is this 2 bedroom 1 bathroom home on a generous 1379 sqm corner block with a separate 3 - 4 room studio nestled in the rear corner. The craftsman built abodes have both been constructed with mud bricks and organic materials that compliment the natural surroundings and create a peaceful haven amongst the village atmosphere.

The main house has 2 spacious bedrooms and 1 sunlit bathroom and has has been appointed with an abundance of timber and tastefully recycled fittings. The northern orientation, mud brick construction and double brick internal walls provide a thermal mass combination for enhancement of internal climate control, with the slow combustion stove providing cosy backup in the winter months.

A large open living area in the main house incorporates the country kitchen with extensive jarrah framed windows soaking up the views of the back yard and opening up onto a spacious elevated deck. The main bedroom opens onto a private courtyard and the main bathroom literally soaks up views of the garden.

Paved pathways meander through the lovingly tendered gardens to the rear studio which has a north facing living area, cabinetry, kitchen and bedroom, modern bathroom and a loft bedroom. The perfect retreat for paying guests, extended family or the teenagers as it is completely separate from the main house and even enjoys its own private patio area complete with custom built fire pit.

Sustainable principles of solar passive orientation and organic features add to the charm of this property, including a large productive vegetable garden and productive fruit trees, a 90,000 litre rainwater tank that provides potable water for the house and a year round bore that supplies the gardens and toilets. There is even a fully accessible under floor cellar for even-temperature storage.

Surrounded by privacy on all boundaries, the south border of the block faces Redgate Road and provides the perfect business frontage for a visionary purchaser prepared to utilise the "Village Centre" shire zoning. Or simply move the family in, modify the property to your exact taste and enjoy a lifetime of country village living in this delightful location.
