Harcourts Bridgetown are proud to present to the market Windy Hollow Homestead - a truly magnificent 10 acre property exuding the charm of yesteryear and prominently etched in the history of Bridgetown and it's people.
Built in 1918, this unique tudor style residence is steeped in character and has been lovingly renovated over time, creating a home filled with warmth and character, surrounded by breathtaking gardens and positioned perfectly to capture the stillness and tranquillity of the lake and the abundant bird life.
The Main House
French doors sourced from the original Bridgetown Post Office lead you on to the full length decking with a stunning canopy of English honeysuckle.
The kitchen enjoys ample cupboard space with a gas top burner and views of the dam from the expansive bay window. There is plenty of room for a dining table for casual family dining. The formal living room includes an original Ingle Nook fire place with a trap door for firewood, banquette seating either side and a small cupboard to store your drink of choice.
The four large bedrooms have high ceilings, three are fitted with built in robes.
The Sun Room
Filled with light, the sun room was originally a large veranda for guests enjoying a game of tennis, due to it's proximity and outlook to the court. Now enclosed, the space has been fitted with a separate bathroom and toilet so is easily utilised as separate accommodation for visitors. With an abundance of windows and the French doors leading to a private balcony, this is the ideal indoor space to enjoy the garden in every season.
The Tree House
Affectionately named, the Tree House sits adjacent to the main house and was originally built in 1927 amongst 4 blackbutt trees. Rebuilt in 1992, the cosy space comprises two bedrooms with an open plan living dining area, which includes a wood fire and beautiful views across the property from two elevated balconies.
The Gardens
From the moment you enter the property through your private, winding driveway you are surrounded by vintage roses, cascading wisteria and every colour of flora imaginable. The gardens were for many years one of the highlights of the Bridgetown Open Gardens Festival.
The Summer House is sure to be where lazy days are spent, sheltered from the sun and positioned by the lake. There has been many a get together around the table made from a 400 year old tree sourced from the property.
The Stables
Converted to accommodation spaces and connected by a rustic style shower and toilet, the stables consist of two spacious living quarters, easily accommodating four guests and all the conveniences for a comfortable stay with kitchen amenities and a slow combustion fire. Carefully restored materials also feature beautifully throughout with wide, wooden floorboards and pressed metal details. For those looking for a short stay business (STCA), the stables are located away from the main house, with two sheltered courtyards and an undercover car bay.
Windy Hollow Homestead - a property rich in history to call your own and a very special place to share with family and guests. The property was a successful Bed and Breakfast for over 20 years up until recently, presenting a wonderful opportunity for an idyllic lifestyle with income potential.
