Tucked away on a generous 897 sq m (more or less) private rear section, this captivating character home offers a rare blend of historic charm and contemporary living. Originally built around 1876 as the local Presbytery, it now stands as a beautifully preserved sanctuary framed by lush cottage gardens and mature trees, a true escape from the everyday.

Adding even more appeal is a separate one-bedroom studio tucked within the garden. Complete with its own bathroom, it’s ideal for extended family, guests, or as a potential income-generating Airbnb or rental.

The main bathroom is a peaceful retreat, featuring a large walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Throughout the home, polished timber floors, soaring ceilings, and period detailing speak to its rich heritage, while thoughtful updates ensure everyday comfort. Stay cosy year-round with a Lady Kitchener fireplace, heat pumps, and a modernised kitchen that blends seamlessly into the home’s classic aesthetic.

A spacious double garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, or a creative workshop space, whatever suits your needs. This is more than just a home, it’s a piece of local history, lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter.
