The Only Character House on the market in Guyra!

Description

Beechworth is a stately federation bungalow built in 1918. The house is of Armidale blue brick and very solid. It features 4 bedrooms, (2 with built-ins), 3 bathrooms, lounge room, formal dining room and a large, very cosy family room. The rooms of the original house have 12-foot ceilings, four of which have tin patterned ceilings. There are 17 rooms in total. Cedar is a major feature of this home with Cedar doors, Cedar floors, Cedar skirting boards and of course the Cedar bookcase. There are slow combustion wood fires in the lounge room and the family room, the dining room has an open fireplace and there is also a large wall-mounted electric air heater in the front hall.

A wonderful feature of the house is the spacious, wrap-around verandah that faces the east and the north. It is great for relaxed entertaining as well enjoying the cool of summer evenings or the warmth of the winter sun.

The kitchen is of good size with a five element electric cook top, a baking oven and a warming oven. There is a large gas space heater that keeps the kitchen very warm in winter.

The grounds are extensive with well-established gardens. The block of land is 2750 square metres (0.69 acres). It is a very generous garden with spring bringing daffodils, jonquils, tulips, grape hyacinth and other flowering bulbs. The pond in the front yard has lotus plants, water lillys and Louisiana iris. There are also clematis, daphne and iris. The 70+ rose bushes flower from later spring to mid autumn. There are extensive plantings of lilies and agapanthus. The autumn colours are spectacular and winter is very peaceful with the sheltered spots of the garden providing surprisingly warm microclimates.

Beechworth is conveniently located within easy walking distance to shops, schools and Rafters Restaurant. It is private and quiet. Most of all it is a very peaceful place in which to live. Inspections are by appointment only.
