Tell Me - Where On Earth Is This?

At least 100 years old and first time on the market for many years. We are thrilled to have been asked to share this secret with you. Let us take you down the concealed driveway where this appropriately beautifully maintained cottage is hidden amongst native trees and bushes - where grasses growing on surrounding property dance and glisten in the summer sunsets.
Some structural information - extensively re-wired, mostly aluminium joinery, 2 bedrooms plus snug breakfast room or office, re-built bathroom, panelled timber ceilings. Modern Colorsteel has been used to re-roof both the home and single garage.
A silver fern nods against the greenhouse window over the kitchen work space and a walk around the paths threaded through the secluded backyard is enchanting. Wander the pebbled paths and you will recognise the grounds have been landscaped to mesh perfectly with the surroundings. The occupants, sensitive to their amazing environment, have planted clusters of interesting grasses and ferns. Sit beneath the plum tree that is likely to match the home age-wise. Look carefully and you'll spot the occasional hollyhock and forget-me-not.
No other building is ever likely to exist between this home and the sea. We have experienced the peace of this unique evening outdoor setting, where between the cabbage trees the sunset creates a kaleidoscope of colour and nothing can be heard but the soft swish of the waves lapping the shore, the birds nesting for the evening and the old clock in the lounge ticking away with sleep inducing regularity. Hans is arranging group viewings by appointment only. Property ID: #WGU3249
