Flattened 360 degree image - Rustic home in leafy/bush setting

 

This truly unique property set on an elevated 700m² block in one of Bellingen's most sought after streets, offers a rustic 4 bedroom home complete with indoor fernery, a huge workshop underneath the house and a separate timber studio. With polished timber floors and an artistic mix of timber and rendered ceilings & walls, it's an easy 900m walk to shops and café's and enjoys lovely cool summer breezes.

Upstairs we find 3 bedrooms including the main bedroom with its own small verandah overlooking the bushland behind the house. All these bedrooms are carpeted although you may want to pull the carpet up and check out the floor boards underneath.

A truly unique property Timber kitchen
 

All the windows are timber and include 2 leadlight 'abbey windows' and 2 feature round windows at either end of the fernery. There's so many things that come together to create the unique feel that this property has and it's hard to put into words although descriptives would certainly include, natural, earthy, different, interesting & environmentally friendly.

The bathroom is downstairs and offers a shower over a large bath together with vanity, shelves, a big skylight & timber windows for lots of natural light and ventilation. The separate toilet is next to the bathroom and adjacent is the 4th bedroom/study which makes it ideal for guests or as an office/consultation/treatment room.

The kitchen has all timber bench tops and cupboards, a small pantry, a double sink, space for a dishwasher, an electric cook top & oven & loads of natural light thanks to another big skylight & a window box around the bench top. There's a big serving window and bench opening onto the sunroom/breakfast room with space for 6 stools in total at the kitchen benches.

There's some rare, timber bi-fold windows in the sunroom looking out to bananas and bush and the compact laundry space is tucked away at the other end of this room. The living area is open plan with polished timber floors, a slow combustion log burner plus beautiful features mentioned earlier like the indoor fernery that spans the width of the house - as well as those feature round windows and abbey windows.

Living area with leadlight 'abbey windows'

The timber studio is completely separate and just a great space, providing covered parking underneath and with its own small verandah looking out to the mountains through the trees. Perfect for work, play or as a teenage escape!

Underneath the house is an absolutely huge workshop space with very high ceilings & plumbing in place from the original laundry. It could fairly easily convert to more self contained living space if that's what you need (subject to council approval) otherwise it's great as a workshop or storage area.

Living area through to fernery Indoor fernery spans width of house

As with most elevated positions the block is sloping with some feature stone retaining walls creating some good flat areas. The garden is pretty hardy with a mixture of natives & tropical plants, a small garden shed and there's a feature bamboo fence lining the front boundary.

In short, a delightful, character filled property with 4 bedrooms plus a separate studio in a great location offering privacy, breezes, and views just a short 900m walk to town.

Inspections are by appointment - to arrange an inspection or to make further enquiries, please use the contact details below.
