Rarely does a home of this calibre come to market. 8 Wellington Road, Mount Barker is, without question, one of the most impressive character residences the township has seen - a 1935 bungalow spanning over a 927m2 allotment, elevated through an uncompromising renovation and extension of exceptional quality.
From the moment you step inside, the home commands attention. Western Red Cedar floorboards, soaring ceilings and the scale of the original cottage immediately establish a sense of stature and authenticity. The wide central hallway and grand entry create a powerful first impression and set the tone for what lies beyond.
The original living room is nothing short of outstanding - a refined, light-filled space defined by high ceilings, exquisite character detail and an open fireplace that anchors the room with warmth and presence. It is a room that feels both impressive and deeply comfortable, equally suited to entertaining or quiet retreat.
Accommodation is generous and well-considered, with four substantial bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms. Both bathrooms have been renovated to an exceptional standard, finished in timeless neutral tones and enhanced by quality fittings and elegant brass tapware - a level of finish rarely achieved.
The recently completed extension is a masterclass in contemporary design, seamlessly integrated with the original home to create a second expansive living zone. Bifold stacker doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, delivering effortless indoor-outdoor living and a natural connection to the entertaining space beyond.
Outdoors, the home continues to impress. A large entertaining deck overlooks immaculately maintained lawns and established gardens, creating a setting that is both private and picturesque. Completing the offering is extensive shedding with concrete flooring and power, adding functionality without compromising the home's refined aesthetic.
