If you're just looking for somewhere to exist, any house will do. If you're looking for a place to live a life, then this is an absolutely essential property for you to come and experience. Most homes leave very little impression on you but there's something captivating about this place.
WHEN YOU GET HERE
Driving down Croyden Road is a beautiful moment and making your way up the driveway can be the instant disconnect from whatever busyness you left behind at work.
The beautifully established garden is seemingly designed to have something flowering all the time, and whilst there's history to these surroundings each day presents a brand new picture.
THE HOME
This is a truly delightful home and is both charming and practical. The kitchen and meals area offers ample workspace. Is it just me or does this look like the sort of kitchen where you'd be making your own bread all the time? I feel like making bread when I'm in it. It's got that kind of atmosphere. The pantry is big and there's a beautiful outlook into the back garden. The kitchen door opens out onto the verandah and lets the afternoon breeze come through.
The main living area is stunning, with a magnificent view of your garden and across to the other side of the hill. It's a beautiful place to retreat in a home that is already a retreat from reality.
The three bedrooms each have their own reason to love them. The main bedroom has a large built-in robe and beautiful natural light. The high ceilings in this home put high ceilings in your average new-build home to shame. They're very high, and it adds to the sense of space in this room and bedrooms two and three. These rooms have open fireplaces that could be reinstated as working features or left as they are, embracing the character of this home. The feature cornices and ceiling roses are magnificent.
THE GARDEN
We're sitting on a 2,600sqm site, and every part of it has been considered in its development. The garden is a journey from the front, around the back, and winding back out to the front verandah. The home is set well back from the private driveway and with substantial established trees and hedges providing a private world that you can call your very own. And you can entertain a huge number of people all around it and welcome them all into your wonderland. And then send them away again…
There is a shed, nestled at the back corner of the property. It's not a Colorbond shed, it's a great timber-clad shed that could make a lovely studio or another retreat from the retreat retreat. It has windows across the building taking in the lovely view of the garden and valley.
