52 Dowle Street, Bellingen
Flattened 360 degree image - Delightful rural outlook


	This handcrafted timber home set on close to an acre (3774 sq m), offers 4 bedrooms, polished timber floors, covered verandahs and lead light features. There's a delightful rural outlook even though it's technically "in town", with river reserve frontage to the Bellinger River and plenty of flat land just perfect for kids of all ages. The vertical slab construction is reminiscent of the early slab huts of Colonial Australia and is combined with modern building techniques to create a solid home filled with character and warmth.


Back verandah	Handcrafted timber home

If you like timber homes built with passion then the chances are you'll like this home. There's covered timber verandahs front and back, and the birdlife is abundant thanks to the many natives planted in the front yard that provide privacy as well as an attractive environment for birds. Downstairs we have the open plan living/dining/kitchen area with cathedral ceilings and polished timber floors creating a delightful warm ambience as the golden sunlight reflects on the rich timbers. The kitchen has beautiful timber bench tops with plenty of timber cupboards, a large pantry, double sink, 6 burner gas cooktop and electric oven.


Main bedroom	Polished timber floors

The clever use of timber and gyprock throughout creates both warmth and light with the 2 downstairs bedrooms offering timber dado walls and built in wardrobes, while the bathroom has a timber vanity, separate shower and classic claw foot bath. Upstairs there are 2 more bedrooms, both carpeted, with lovely views and heaps of storage.

Outside there's a 2 car carport adjacent to the house and under the house is some fantastic storage space for canoes, fishing gear, body boards, inner tubes, or any other river toys you might want as well as your lawn mower and garden gear. In fact it would be quite easy to create a workshop space under the house if that's what you wanted, otherwise it's a safe and secure storage area.

Bellinger River reserve frontage

Plenty of flat land

In the garden, grevilleas line the front boundary to provide privacy as well as attract the birds and then you'll find tibouchina and other natives closer to the house with some citrus fruit out the back. To be honest, if you're a garden lover you'll probably want to do even more and there's plenty of space to do it with almost an acre of land at your disposal running to the river reserve.

If you've got kids and you want them to have lots of room to run around as well as being within easy walk/ride of schools, parks, shops and everything else that Bellingen has to offer then this property is ideal. There's plenty of flat land for a footy field/cricket pitch/netball court as well as great scope for a cubby house, tree house and fun filled adventure land.


Rich timbers	Best of town & country lifestyles

With a backyard like this that can never be built out this is indeed a rare property in a quiet cul de sac offering the best of both town and country lifestyles.
