"Clare" is a wonderful home, rich with character and Irish influences and traits of the early 1900s are evident. In fact, most of the original features remain; picture rails, timber skirting boards, panelled doors and polished timber floors.The stained glass windows hark back to the mother land with orange, green and white stained glass panels and a brass 'Claddagh' door knocker.
Come along to inspect with an open heart and be ready to fall in love with the charm on offer here. Yes, there is some work to do - a carpenter or builder would really make the most of this opportunity. The home has been occupied although is in need of some maintenance, but if you put in the work, you are sure to reep the rewards.
So many people moving to the area are looking for a character cottage on a good block and here that is exactly what you are getting. The 10 acres is fenced and there is a big dam at the front of the block. The cottage is reminiscent of a time gone by when houses were graceful and welcoming.
As you enter the home from the front verandah, the long wide corridor offers you the choice bedrooms off to the right and living spaces to the left.The main bedroom is large and bright, the remaining bedrooms capture light throughout the day and all are good sized rooms with high ceilings throughout.
The formal lounge is a delightful room and leads onto the expansive and combined country kitchen and dining area - this is the heart of the house and also affords lovely views over the green rolling paddocks and long driveway. The 'Old Kooka" remains as a visual feature alongside the "Highland" electric/gas cooktop and a 90 cm chefs "Scholtes" electric oven. There is a deep porcelain sink, plenty of drawers and cupboards fitted with pretty knobs and loads of attention to detail.
This old home does have some modern comforts - Brivis ducted heating and a fireplace. There is a shed with 15amp power-positioned close to the house although it too is in need of some repair. Some elbow grease and a little effort will go a long way here, this home is a real charmer and has enormous potential. If you wanted to extend it you would find that it is well positioned on the block so that you could push out to the east or west very easily.
Gentle undulations and an elevated position with northern views make this approximately 10 acre block a rarety. For more information please contact Ellie Merriman on 0402 117 877 or Doug Merriman on 0419 999 001 or the Ray White Bungendore Office on 62380700.
