Restored 4 Bedroom Character Home
Lovingly renovated in 2025, this beautiful character home perfectly blends timeless charm with the comforts of modern living. Thoughtfully updated throughout while retaining its original warmth and personality, it is a home that feels as welcoming as it is functional. Nestled on the country fringe, you'll enjoy a peaceful semi-rural outlook while still being just an easy stroll to the town centre, shops and railway station—the best of both worlds.
At its heart is the stunning new open-plan kitchen and dining area, where French doors open onto a generous north-facing deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining, family gatherings or simply soaking up the sunshine.
Extensive renovations provide complete peace of mind, including the addition of a second bathroom, new plumbing and drainage to the street, complete rewiring with a new switchboard and retrofitted double glazing to the east-facing bedrooms. Beautiful hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout, while a wetback woodburner and heat transfer system ensure year-round comfort.
Step outside and discover a garden that's every bit as special as the home itself. Established walnut, apple, pear, plum, feijoa and citrus trees, thriving grapevines and six raised vegetable beds create a true garden sanctuary. Unwind with a soak in the outdoor bath, collect fresh eggs from the fully fenced chicken run and enjoy the reassurance of two water tanks providing a combined 15,000 litres for garden irrigation or emergency water supply.
Completing the property is a double garage with workshop and a charming standalone studio, offering endless possibilities as a home office, guest accommodation, an art or pottery studio or your own peaceful retreat.
Beautifully presented, thoughtfully renovated and brimming with character, this is more than just a home—it's a lifestyle waiting to be enjoyed. Offering the serenity of country-fringe living with the convenience of cafés, shops, schools and the railway station just a short walk away, this exceptional property delivers a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find.
