Country charm with 3 bedrooms plus study in the beautiful hills town of Lenswood awaits a new owner who will appreciate this picturesque setting in the midst of neighbouring orchards.
Lenswood is a semi-rural village situated in the Adelaide Hills east of Adelaide. The major industries are apples, pears, cherries and wine grapes with many cellar doors and restaurants to taste the local produce.
LAND: Set well back on the high side of the road, on a ¾ acre block (3193m2 approx) and surrounded by a large garden, sits a renovated 1906 home with views across neighbouring orchards and the surrounding hills of Lenswood. The lovely front garden has flower beds, shrubs, lawn and mature deciduous trees providing cool shade in summer and letting the sun through in winter. A small fishpond with a water feature sits to the right of the stairs leading to the front veranda. The back garden is terraced and currently used for growing vegetables and fruit trees including Figs, Persimmons, Plums, Apricots, Peaches, Olives, Quinces, Nashi Pears, Apples, Limes, Lemons and Walnuts. For your shopping you are only a short drive away from Lobethal and only 35 minutes from the Adelaide CBD.
RESIDENCE: The original house, built in 1906, was extended several times and now includes 3 bedrooms and a study or 4th bedroom, main bathroom, second shower and toilet adjacent to the self-contained extension, kitchen, laundry, dining room and formal lounge. From the gravel driveway, up the stairs to the front veranda the main entrance leads into a wide passage with formal lounge to the left and study to the right. The high ceiling and polished floor boards are typical of a seasoned country residence. The lounge has a combustion heater adding natural warmth and a cosy feeling in winter and for comfort year round a reverse cycle split system. From the lounge into the dining room which features gold leaves on the ceiling and a functional open fireplace. The study has built-in book shelves on two sides as well as a functional open fireplace. Further down the main passage to the right is bedroom number 2 with dark floorboards, followed by bedroom number 3 with plenty of storage space behind the white curtains. The renovated bathroom has underfloor heating, a bath, shower, toilet and single vanity unit. The kitchen / meals area has a dark slate floor; the kitchen cupboard doors are made of solid Blackwood; quality kitchen appliances are provided including a Miele oven with warming drawer, a Bosch gas cooktop and a Miele dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a small area ideal for informal meals, it is heated with a gas space heater and has direct access to the patio. From the kitchen you step into the self-contained wing with laundry, separate shower, basin and toilet and a large bedroom with walk-in robe and kitchen sink/food preparation area, originally designed as a granny flat. The sliding doors from this bedroom lead to a shade covered, paved patio area. The side veranda provides another great spot for relaxing with a cup of tea or a glass of wine and a book.
IMPROVEMENTS: A 7.2kw solar system means you probably won’t have to pay for any electricity; in fact the current owners receive a cheque at the end of the year. The original apple shed provides storage and space for tools; the pit in the single garage is ideal for someone doing their own car maintenance. A wood shed provides space to store enough firewood for the two open fires and the combustion heater. A further shed/single garage with concrete floor is at the end of the driveway. There is an Envirocycle septic system which also helps to water part of the garden.
