Chequers Court is a rare offering for those who love old houses with character, charm and history. This classic 1880s mountains weatherboard on half acre (2200sqm) garden block retains original features including studio ceilings, leadlight windows, six-inch floorboards and internal timber shellacked walls.
The large, sunny country kitchen embraces friends and family with its 8-seat dining table and a huge open fireplace. A cosy formal lounge uses a Jetmaster gas log fire for warmth and ambience on cool Mountains nights. There are 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (main with clawfoot bath and separate shower), library with built-in bookshelves, small dining room, sunny wrap around veranda with original leadlight windows, and a sunroom, providing interesting spaces all year round.
A separate cottage with 4 rooms and a bathroom can be used as studio, office/guest accommodation, for in-laws, B&B or teenage retreat.
The front garden has two 100-year-old rhododendrons that are stunning in spring. The fully fenced back garden has a stable for your horse or you can create your own veggies and fruit in the very gently-sloping north-facing patch of about a quater acre.
Chequers is currently a successful holiday rental property, so live the dream and earn income too, or move to this stunning friendly small town and discover the pace life used to be!
