Charming early Victorian homestead

Set amongst the beautiful pastureland of the north-west coast is this magnificent example of an early Victorian homestead.<br/>Part of the original farm for the past 160 years, it has retained much of its original character whilst undergoing periodic extensions and improvements by each generation since the late 1850's. The current property has only recently been separated from the surrounding working farm providing a very rare opportunity to own a historic rural home. The property is now nestled on 2.5 manageable acres of delightful, landscaped gardens with a host of established plantings and offering stunning panoramic views out over a small lake with its resident wild water birds and the surrounding farmland.<br/>The home now comprises of a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances, composite stone work surfaces and large walk-in pantry that overlooks the open plan dining and sitting room with air conditioner and wood heater, generous main living room with original fireplace, 3 guest bedrooms, huge master bedroom retreat with walk in closet and ensuite bathroom, separate office, fully modernised family bathroom, separate toilet, large laundry, mud room, large covered entertainment deck and wide veranda on 2 sides. There is also ample space for numerous vehicles in the 6m x 6m shed and additional 6m x 6m carport. The beautiful gardens are low maintenance with fruit trees, vegetable patch and superb flowering shrubs.<br/>All of the improvements have been thoughtfully undertaken to enhance the essential Victorian style and have retained many of the original features including the Blackwood flooring, fireplaces, ceiling roses, doors and windows, staircase and hand split weatherboards. Located just a short 10 minute picturesque drive from the towns of Devonport and Latrobe and less than one hour from Launceston, historic rural properties of this era rarely become available and offer a unique opportunity to secure a significant historic home to be loved and cherished for generations to come.<br/>• 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms<br/>• Large kitchen<br/>• Parents retreat master suit<br/>• Veranda<br/>• Air conditioner<br/>• Wood heater<br/>
