Refurbishments have been carried out over the years to cater for a growing family and modern living needs. The home blends seamlessly with the landscape and is a wonderful family retreat complete with tennis court, pool, pétanque pit, sheltered alfrescos and substantial 92 sq m shedding. This is a compelling opportunity and it is brought to market for the first time.
Be engulfed by the peaceful rural vibe as you sweep down the tree-lined driveway. The well-conceived layout enjoys a breezy openness yet maintains separation of rooms to allow everyone a niche to relax in. Multiple living areas ensure no shortage of space. The hub of the home is a true coming together space - open-plan with a farm-style kitchen, casual and large-scale dining and a conversation area. The extended ceilings create scale and the room follows the sun all day; enjoy the warmth of the woodburner for the winter months, the cork tiles are a particle flooring solution and the custom-built Cedar joinery is a feature throughout the home. The formal lounge is an intimate space with the most calming ambience, enjoy a fine wine with friends around the open fire with its plastered mantle and bespoke built-in surrounds. There is an open plan office and study nook, both offering functional utility areas. Sets of French doors throughout the home bring the outdoors in and provide direct access to the plethora of entertaining facilities.
All three bedrooms are restful personal sanctuaries with rural outlooks. The master is seamlessly connected to nature and the country panorama; both the en-suite and main bathroom are refreshing spaces with bespoke fixtures and finishes. There is an upstairs mezzanine for multipurpose usage, an outdoor office currently set up as an additional fourth bedroom, and adjacent is a sizeable storage room.
A place for family and friends to flourish and enjoy and come home to. Whether it's tennis nights, a game of pétanque, a summer dip in the pool or BBQs and banter in the outdoor alfrescos. There is ample room for outside games with lush level lawns and many hiding places for kids to explore. This home beckons for outdoor living and entertaining.
The acreage is perfect for the Horsham Downs School Ag Day pets, or for the small-scale hobby farmer. The vegetable garden and orchard have been a real asset for the current owners and those that value “growing your own”.
