A spacious family home with a separate cottage, generous outbuildings and scope to add value.
Set in the established suburb of Fortunes Gate, this brick-under-tile property offers considerably more than a conventional three-bedroom home. With multiple living spaces, a self-contained cottage, staff accommodation, a triple lock-up garage and a borehole, it has the scale and flexibility to suit a family looking for space or a buyer seeking a property with further potential.
The main house opens into an entrance hall and offers a spacious lounge with wooden ceilings and a fireplace, flowing through to an outdoor veranda and entertainment area. A separate dining room also features wooden ceilings, while the family room has previously been used as a fourth bedroom, giving the home additional flexibility.
The main bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and ceiling fan. The two additional bedrooms have built-in cupboards and are served by a separate bathroom. A guest cloakroom and additional store/linen room add further practicality.
The kitchen is neat and functional, with access to a paved courtyard. While it would benefit from modernisation, this presents an opportunity for the new owner to update the space to their own taste.
Separate Cottage
The recently renovated, fully tiled cottage is well suited to guests, extended family or additional accommodation. It comprises one bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a lounge, compact kitchenette and bathroom, with wooden ceilings and French sliding doors adding character.
There is also a separate one-bedroom staff quarter with toilet and shower, together with a metal storage shed that could potentially be adapted for additional accommodation, subject to the necessary approvals.
Outside
The property includes a triple lock-up garage with attached laundry room, a carport, thatched gazebo, wooden tool shed and a swimming pool that is currently non-functional.
A borehole and water tank provide an important practical advantage. The property is walled on two sides and fenced on the other two.
The home requires some TLC, but the underlying space, accommodation and improvements provide a solid platform for a buyer who is prepared to modernise and unlock its potential.
