Solidly built with rustic charm Spacious main bedroom
   

Inspired by the classic Australian slab hut this property has a rustic charm only found in timber houses. The wide board timber floors run through the entire house including the bathroom, and timber features abound including the timber kitchen cupboards and bench tops, timber vanity and hand crafted timber screen doors.

The bedrooms all have built in robes and the main bedroom is spacious (5.8 x 2.9m) while bedroom 2 (3.2 x 2.9m) and bedrooms 3 (4.2 x 2.2m) are both a reasonable size and quite capable of embracing double (or larger) beds.

Slow combustion log burner and French doors Timber kitchen with plenty of bench space
   

The living/dining area (7 x 5m) enjoys reverse cycle, split system air conditioning as well as French door access to the covered back verandah which overlooks the burgeoning bougainvillea to the delightfully private backyard complete with timber kids play gym, sandpit and generous, fully fenced veggie garden.. There’s no doubt the covered verandahs form an integral part of the living area for this property linking outside with inside in our classic coastal climate, while for those cool winter nights there’s a slow combustion log burner that transforms this character filled home into a warm and cosy cottage thanks to the fully insulated ceilings.

The kitchen enjoys lots of bench space, both timber and stone, and reasonable cupboard space as well as a double sink, dishwasher, gas cooktop, and electric stove together with delicious views through the north facing timber windows to the very private grounds that always seem to be teeming with birdlife for your everlasting enjoyment. While we’re outside there’s a double carport with large garden shed/small workshop attached (with 3 phase power) and there’s a great variety of clumping bamboos courtesy of the original owner, providing privacy and character in what can be an amazing adventure land for kids of all ages.

Polished timber floors Space, peace and privacy
 

It’s just 5 minutes drive to Tuckers Rock and a seemingly endless beach that runs north to Sawtell creek and south to the river mouth at Urunga. Beach fishing, surfing, beach walks and early morning dips are very popular or if you prefer boating to beaching it’s just 5 minutes drive to the Bellinger River for fishing, water skiing, canoeing, swimming or just plain relaxing.

The location is fantastic with Bellingen and Coffs Harbour both 15 minutes drive away and Urunga just a 10 minute drive. There’s a great local primary school in Repton as well as a very active and social bush fire brigade. There are some great walking trails nearby in Bongil Bongil National Park and it’s a lovely neighbourhood for walking generally, with lots of trees and “friendly natives”.
