Enchanting Country Retreat on 8 Hectares

2 2 6

52 Newington Road is a very special property. A picturesque block, cottage gardens, beautiful dams, a cracking shed, and a stunning pitched roof sitting snuggly in the middle of it all. This is a unique property, and having sat in one family for 28 years, it has a special story to share with the world.

From the moment you crest the driveway, this property is a surprise. It feels like stepping into a storybook. Peaceful, charming, and a truly wonderful home for a couple looking for a home that feels generous without being too big, and has plenty of space to entertain friends and family.

From the moment you arrive, the home's warm timber tones and honeyed light create a welcoming atmosphere. Expansive windows frame serene views of the surrounding gardens and dam, while a wrap-around verandah captures the essence of classic rural Australian design. The open, airy living spaces flow effortlessly, creating a sense of calm and connection to the surrounding landscape.

Inside, the living area features a wood combustion fireplace as well as ducted heating that creates a cozy ambience through the colder months, complemented by an air conditioner for year-round comfort. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with timeless wooden cabinetry, quality appliances, and ample storage, blending functionality with character.
The two bathrooms showcase vintage brass fixtures, with one serving as an ensuite and the other offering a spacious layout with a corner bath and generous shower. A loft-style nook provides extra sleeping space or a quiet retreat for reading and reflection, while a dedicated study enjoys tranquil views across the landscaped garden. All adding to the home's flexible, welcoming layout.

Throughout, original wooden floors and handcrafted finishes tell a story of care and tradition. The sunroom and dining area, bathed in sunlight, opens to captivating views across manicured gardens and a serene dam, complete with a whimsical bridge, adding a touch of magic to the landscape. Perfectly positioned to capture maximum winter sun, the expansive sunroom becomes a peaceful seasonal retreat while helping to naturally warm the rest of the home

As beautiful as it is spending time here, the farm is not lacking in practical substance. A large shed with three roller doors provides parking for up to six vehicles, including one extra-height bay perfect for a caravan or boat and is approximately 25m from the house. This shed is accessed via a second entrance off Newington Road, and allows for the tranquillity of the home and gardens to remain while maintaining easy access to covered parking and storage. Expansive gardens feature a harmonious blend of deciduous trees, fruit trees, soft flowers, and open lawns, an idyllic setting for outdoor living, entertaining, or quiet reflection. The owners call the lawns below the house 'The Oval', and it is just calling for garden parties, surrounded by established trees and garden.
