ORIGINAL RED BRICK HOME - JERILDERIE

This home has all of the trappings you would expect to see in a double brick turn of the century abode.The décor is such that you wouldn’t find in new modern homes like original decorative cornice, 10’ ceilings, open fireplace, combustion nook, box window seats and feature stained glass windows and front door. It also has some modern furnishings – the stove has been replaced with a double electric oven and 5 burner natural gas cooktop, the roof is colourbond and the air conditioner is a new evaporative ducted system.
The facade of the house is north facing and appealing hosting a large wide verandah to front and one side, perfect for the evening tipple. Through the front antique door (with original door knock) into a spacious reception area with original cornice and ceiling rose and the feel of this house and it’s unbelievable potential become apparent. The lounge reflects the charm of this property with bay window box seat, original open fire place, stained glass window and French doors. Natural gas bayonets for extra comfort are located in this lounge and in the back family room.
There are three large main bedrooms with the potential of using the current office space as a fourth bedroom. All of these rooms have ceiling fans and the third bedroom has original polished floor boards.
The bathroom is small but functional and blends old with new. A modern, glass encased shower sits between the vanity and authentic green bath which was all the rage back in the day.
The dining room is separate and is adjacent to the kitchen which is well equipped with two ovens, a dishwasher and island bench. This completes the initial homestead and the Vendors have added on an extension of a large family room with the office to the north side through a sliding door…this is the room which could potentially be a fourth bedroom as it is complete with built in robes and ceiling fan. The generously sized laundry is at the other end of the room and plays host to a toilet and second shower.
Outside is a double (in length) garage and a small garden shed. The block measures just better than a quarter acre and has a laneway at the back of the property for added access.
One of those rare homes where you can feel the earliest era which deserves to be forever immortalised. It warrants inspection and would appeal to those who can appreciate the character and charm of one of Jerilderie’s earliest homes. My first thoughts – I would love to get hold of this and love it back to the grandeur it once commanded.
PRICE RANGE $180,000 AND $198,000
