Located in the small township of Grass Valley this large red brick and iron federation style house has stood at the heart of this rural town since 1910. The town dates back to 1898 when a community grew around the railway siding that transported the crops of the day through the state. Although no longer a rail destination Grass Valley continues to be home to a close-knit community that enjoy a rural lifestyle while still being only 10 minutes drive from the services and amenities of the regional centre of Northam.
This country property is looking for an owner who will see its potential and continue with the renovations that previous owners have undertaken. Framed by a bullnose verandah that extends either side of the drawing room facade this feature provides street appeal and a relaxing retreat in the heat of the day.
Enter through the front door and the hallway guides you down to the living area and kitchen or into the first of three large high ceilings bedrooms. The first front bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe space and a door to through to the front verandah - if you wish to slip out unnoticed.
To the left is the front drawing room with an open fire place and a door to the small verandah annexe. This room could also serve as another bedroom.
The second and third bedrooms are located off this living area with the third bedroom also featuring an open fireplace. From this room a door leads outside to the bathroom and toilet. With the bathroom facilities still in their original location and external to the living areas the opportunity for a new owner to renovate these facilities would significantly contribute to the utilities of the house.
Back to the hallway and you are invited into the living room with another fireplace and wood heater for those Grass Valley winter nights and french doors flowing out onto the verandah to catch the breeze in the summer.
Walk into the kitchen from the living room and you will see some of the previous renovation work completed, creating a large bright open space that has respected the era of the house. This space provides plenty of opportunity for family to gather around a kitchen table and the cook in you to work your culinary magic.
If you are looking for an original country house that has the potential to be further restored to its former glory this is the property for you. With 1720 m2 of land the grounds speak country and the location speaks community.
