Overview

ROSEHILL - CHARACTER, CHARM AND ELEVATED VIEWS

Tucked away up a private driveway, this remarkable property sits proudly on a 2,726 m² elevated site, offering sweeping views across the town and to the majestic mountains beyond. An Art Deco design originally built in the 1940s for Sir William Bodkin, a respected local Member of Parliament, this unique residence was thoughtfully extended in 1976 with a second storey. The result is a spacious, character filled home that blends historic elegance with modern practicality. Ideal for extended family living or as a boutique homestay, the layout is both flexible and generous. Upstairs features three bedrooms, a bathroom and a handy kitchenette, ideal for guests or independent family members. Downstairs, the home boasts a spacious lounge warmed by a woodburner, a modernised kitchen/dining, two additional bedrooms and two versatile rooms, ideal for home office, studio or extra accommodation. There are radiators throughout heated by a modern efficient diesel burner. Outdoors the charm continues with beautifully terraced stone walls, an abundance of mature trees, and a variety of fruit trees that make the garden a true delight. The property also includes a double garage, a bike shed, and a loft space, ideal for further accommodation or storage. Sit under the louvered pergola and take in the sweeping views over the town, your private sanctuary above it all. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, this elevated outdoor space offers the blend of comfort and scenery. Rosehill is packed full of character and features that must be seen to be truly appreciated. A rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with the comfort and space of modern living.
