A true Australian Federation home with polished timber floors, high ceiling and bullnosed verandas. Cottage gardens, historic features and out buildings, rose gardens, sandstone paths, water features, bush tennis court and exquisite hilltop views over lush farmland in the Macleay.
Rose Cottage as it is known is an exceptional property spread over 6.8Ac - quite like stepping into another world. The often dreamy idyllic entrance of a majestic gateway and a smooth even driveway edged with colourful Jacarandas sets the scene.
The home built in 1860 and sympathetically enlarged in 1986 and again in 2006, with beautiful period features, including 3 metre ceilings the house stands proud yet private.
The pleasures and formality of separate kitchen, formal dining room, formal lounge, family room with bay windows and a garden for entertaining is something special here.
Other features include: 4 double bedrooms downstairs, 2 with en-suite, 3 attic rooms, office, slow combustion fires, private verandas, spiral timber staircase, double French doors, reverse cycle air conditioning and solar hot water.
A working windmill stands iconic in the lush green front paddock, whilst the views over the back paddock and beyond are highlighted by the discovery of the guest cottage.
The two bedroom cottage in the grounds, originally a dairy bail, is ideal as a retreat for family or friends. Alternatively, because it has independent services, it could provide extra income as a rental property or perhaps a charming B&B (subject to council approval).
The soils are rich and the garden is for both the eye and the table with enclosed vegetable garden, macadamia and pecan trees, apple, lemon, lemonade, grapefruit, grape, mandarin, lime, olive, peach, plum, mulberry and persimmon.
Located in heavenly Euroka, Rose Cottage is 10 minutes from the centre of Kempsey and 35 minutes north of Port Macquarie.
The property is serviced by both town water and bore water, tar sealed road, school bus, daily mail, waste collection and broadband.
Homes of this grandeur, of this romantic of all eras are few and rare. Call ONEAGENCY Kelly Flanagan on 6562 3600 to arrange your private inspection.
