Conveniently situated just minutes from local shopping, primary school, doctors, chemist, bakery, cafes etc. and an easy commute for workers travelling to either the East Tamar or Launceston at around 30 minutes, this property will also hold appeal to those seeking a change of pace with more time to pursue leisure activities as the location boasts close proximity to the Tamar River, beautiful beaches, a walking track through to Beauty Point, great boating and fishing spots etc., even a very popular 9 hole golf course around 15 minutes away at Greens Beach. There is a bus service to Launceston catering for school children, workers and indeed for anyone who would prefer to leave the car at home.
The home is set on a generous allotment of approximately 1012sqm (1/4 acre). It is nicely shrouded from the public's gaze courtesy of a Malay Dwarf Bamboo hedge which has already reached its maximum height of around 3 metres. Comprising 3 good size bedrooms, the master with en-suite and all having built in robes, main bathroom providing bath and separate shower, laundry, kitchen with ample bench and cupboard space and a light spacious open plan family, dining and lounge room with cathedral ceilings and a wall mounted television which will remain, originally built around 1992, the home is complete with a large reverse cycle heat pump (still under warranty) and a versatile wood heater that will not only keep you cosy throughout the winter months but also incorporates an oven and hotplates (saving on electricity costs as you can efficiently cook delicious food, keep your kettle warm all day and heat your house, all at the same time). There is a deck to the rear of the property, perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing in the peaceful surrounds after a long day at work.
The current owners dream was to convert the property to sustainable living, supporting various cottage industries, thus, the grounds have been developed with that in mind. The easy care, cottage style gardens are mulched helping to deter weed growth and offer around 30 established lavender plants which may interest those wishing to harvest for the purpose of dried lavender and oils etc. For the avid gardener there is plenty of space for cultivating productive veggie gardens or you may prefer to add some new varieties to the existing fruit trees (Fig, Lemon, Blueberry and a Dwarf Walnut). To assist in establishing a productive market garden or perhaps a home business supplying starter plants, there is an almost new state of the art glass house (approximately 7m x 3m) fully equipped with shelving etc. There is a shade system which fits over the glasshouse, designed to prevent temperatures within the glasshouse becoming too high and alternatively it can be removed if temperatures become too low. The windows can also be opened for cooling purposes and the real bonus is that the plate glass walls have a life time guarantee. There is also a recently fitted rainwater tank and compost heap, which service the glass house.
Parking is not an issue as there is an excellent double garage with an attached workshop/potting shed. The garage has remote entry to the main parking bay and is high enough (at around 3 metres) to house a caravan or motorhome and any of the larger 4 wheel drives. The car bay offers the option of 10 or 15 amp electrical points (ideal if you have an electric car, caravans or indeed anything that may require charging).
The workshop is a dedicated space of approximately 6m x 5m, enjoying good natural lighting. It is the perfect add on to allowing the glasshouse to be operational and is a great space for anyone wishing to set up any type of micro industry within, or for the home handyman it provides the perfect work space.
For purchasers seeking a comfortable home (still with scope for adding your own personality), offering great infrastructure, this property will suit a broad range of buyers, particularly those seeking a friendly community to become part of.
