When this 1900s cottage was finally melded with the 50s-built boys school at its side, the transformation was complete – marking the moment that this 4-bedroom epic on a serene 1 ¾ acres would become something truly special.
Inside, the preservation and presentation of the homestead's original timber floors, lofty ceilings, and functional fireplaces conjure the kind rustic warmth that cannot be recreated without a storied history.
Consider the long, expansive living arena at the homestead's rear the official hub and the light-filled gateway to a country kitchen, sitting room, including a master with its own ensuite, dressing room and French door access to the front verandah.
Striking the perfect balance between looks and functionality, the kitchen boasts top of the range European appliances; new Ilve 900mm oven, Miele steamer/oven, oven/microwave and coffee machine, Bosch dishwasher, movable stone-topped island, and a dining nook.
Then, suddenly, history meets the future…
What was once that boys school is now a fully upgraded centrepiece headlined by a living room/lounge framed in Tasmanian Oak floors, raked timber-beamed ceilings and a sea of light-grabbing glass.
The school is now also home to three bedrooms – each with private access to a terrace – and a most impressive laundry that stretches the entire width of the bedrooms combined.
Simply close the doors that separate the extension from the homestead to keep the kids far away. Open them and let it all become one. Transformation. Complete.
