| It’s
easy to feel like the "King of the Castle”
from this beautifully elevated position just beyond
the north eastern boundary of Bellingen township. There
is plenty of level land at the top of the hill and there’s
a distinct park-like feel to the property as you sit
on the verandah enjoying delicious winter sun or cooling
summer breezes.
The original
house is thought to be around 80 years old and the owners
believe it was renovated and re-clad with Hardiplank
during the 1980s before being moved to its current position
in the 1990s. The majority of the internal wall cladding
is gyprock with some original walls in the laundry and
bathroom. Most external doors and windows have been
replaced at some time although there are some original
French doors inside.
The kitchen
was renovated around 5 years ago and offers gas oven
& cooktop, double sink, dishwasher, pantry and plenty
of cupboard, drawer and bench space, with more of those
delightful views. The main bathroom is close to bedroom
3 and offers a detachable shower head over the bath,
small vanity and toilet, plus there is a second toilet
with vanity close to bedrooms 1 & 2.
Outside there is a 4 car colourbond
garage and plenty of rainwater storage with 100,000
litres underground plus 25,000 litres above ground.
But you know what - this property is not so much about
the improvements as it is about the location, 9 acres
(3.8ha) of good land on the outskirts of Bellingen is
a very rare commodity. With the price of petrol going
up and up, distance from town is even more of a consideration
now and this property offers the ultimate in close to
shops convenience combined with the luxury of living
on small acres and the potential for future subdivision
(subject to Council approval). |
