This beautifully restored and renovated home with some original features was once a convent where Saint Mary MacKillop stayed whenever she visited Tingha. Historical records indicate that Saint Mary once assisted an older infirmed Sister who had fallen in the gardens during one of her stays. She also spent time with the children of the parish attending school during the week at the Catholic Church next door. The home has a clean and airy feel thanks to the fresh paint inside and out. It has new carpet and lights throughout. From the front veranda you enter the home through a tiled entry. This leads into a large lounge room with air conditioner for summer and slow combustion fire to warm you through winter. The large combined kitchen & dining area is perfect for someone who likes to cook. It has a modern electric stove and oven, as well as a functioning large wood stove in its almost original beautiful condition. A carpeted family room includes a built in bench-space designed for computers, sewing or other work or hobbies. It boasts a stunning newly renovated bathroom that would not look out of place in a million-dollar home. The home has a separate toilet, walk-in linen press, and large laundry. Each of the 3 bedrooms are generously sized and have built-in wardrobes.
The master bedroom has an extra room adjoining that can be used for a variety of purposes including as a walk-in wardrobe or private study/hobby area. Another additional room off the hallway to the 3rd bedroom can be used as an extra bedroom, guest room, rumpus room or study area. For the handyman, artist or anyone with storage needs the property has a large work-shed or studio. The back yard has a fenced inner area for use as outdoor entertaining and BBQ area. This area is also great for pets and includes a large aviary. The larger back yard area is also fenced and provides ample room for a family cricket game or any other outdoor activity. There’s plenty of room to keep a keen gardener busy making the outside of the property beautiful. The home has been extensively rewired and is on mains water and sewer. New storm water plumbing has been connected. This home is conveniently located with a short flat walk to the shops, school and other services in Tingha, just 20 minutes drive to the thriving service centre of Inverell.
