"HURTWOOD" | A Treasure of Tungkillo, Recast for Idyllic Town-Edge Living.
Nestled between Birdwood and Mount Pleasant, yesteryear prevails in this beautifully restored 1880s cottage that brings a big vehicle focus, a little Charlotte Bronte, and 3288sqm of rural breathing space.
Inside, the three-bedroom home reads like a Victorian novel. Timber-cladding and bespoke leadlight, dado rails and whitewashed stone walls against a sympathetic palette paying all due respect to today's modern lifestyle.
By far its most practical additions, are two concrete-floored double garages, an annexed carport for the campervan or trailer, and the invaluable accessibility of a concreted circular driveway.
Featuring sash windows, the huge country kitchen is an enchanting play on colonial style. Modern elements include stone benchtops, double wall ovens – one being a microwave/airfryer – all accentuated by mosaic splashbacks and brass tapware.
Everywhere else, the home is a measured mix of old and new.
All but one main room branch off the central living space with its modern ceiling fans and hearty combustion fire, while its indoor-outdoor focus are the French doors revealing a living artwork beyond - tall gums, generous shade, pops of colour and vacant vegie beds offering scope to go wild…
The groundwork outdoors is done; what grows next is up to you.
From the return verandah, stone steps rise to an orchard, while the lay of the land offers implement and woodshedding, open space for firepit nights and the keen composter, while a vantage point from the back of the block gives you the whole beautifully rural perspective.
Thick stone walls encase the rear-set master bedroom, stepping out to an annexed study that's just as endearing as a dressing room, ensuite or reading zone. The nearby bathroom adds a modern-colonial touch, echoing pressed metal and stone through its tiles and sweeping eye-level garden views.
Bedroom two hosts its own fireplace, accessible via the kitchen; bedroom three opposite, carries more newly whitewashed stone walls into its retreat.
Established garden shade follows you around this magical property, from the arrival to the hen house, and with the smell of straw and herbaceous shrubs, there's little doubt you're knee deep in the country.
With town-edge perimeters slowly stretching, your neighbours are an enviable distance away; and as the roses release their spring perfume, simply shut the gate and enjoy it.
Barely an hour from the city, relax in a renovated slice of history…
Tungkillo was established around 1850 to service the nearby Reedy Creek -Tungkillo Copper mine. Belonging to the Spry brothers (one of whom was the town baker), this house is believed to be one of the first established in the town.
