Country charm on city fringe

Here is an opportunity which is often sought and rarely found. This beautifully maintained 1880s villa is on the market for the first time in sixty years and is looking for a new family to nurture.
Comprising 5 bedrooms, separate lounge and dining, traditional kitchen and bathroom, wide hallway and open wrap around veranda trimmed with wrought iron lace this lovely home sits on an awe-inspiring 2028 sq m of lawn, garden and established orchard with mature hedges providing privacy and peace.
Character features such as high pressed metal ceilings, ornate cornices, open fireplaces and bay windows work together to add an elegant yet homely feel. Well maintained outhouses beside the main house provide options for the gardener, handyman, artist or as a home office. A two car carport is steps from the house for convenience.
The private, peaceful gardens are divided into different areas by mature hedges which create a magical feel. A lawn sits at the front of the house and is a safe play area for kids and is perfect for long summer lunches in the garden with friends. Alongside is an established orchard with pear, plum and apple trees laden with fruit. A third north facing, sundrenched garden sits in front of the kitchen.
There is opportunity for you to complement this very special house by adding your own touches with a new dream kitchen and bathroom, and maybe some interior redecoration to your taste. Externally and structurally the house is in excellent condition and has been lovingly and meticulously maintained over the years. The owners have LIM, Builders Report and Electrical Report which can be made available to interested purchasers.
