Scarlet Oak Cottage
This much-admired Victorian gable-roofed cottage, with its concave verandah and sash windows, sits in the middle of the village's historic precinct. Built in c1893 for the Maxton family, who had a flourishing bakery and confectionary business, it has been lovingly and immaculately refurbished to reflect its true character, while retaining all the exterior visual appeal of its origins. A gleaming red door, with coloured glass and matching fanlight, invites you into a wide hall with deep skirtings, plank flooring, and a high stud, and then into a sitting room with a log burner and timber fire surround. A second living/dining room opens through French doors to a sunlit deck. The superb kitchen, with bevelled tiles and stone benchtops, transcends the ordinary with its modern take on traditional cabinetry and also opens through French doors to the 979m2 garden. Adjacent to this is a fantastic shower room that incorporates the laundry and has trad black and white tiling. Up the original staircase a gallery hallway, and all the rooms, boast delightfully angled attic ceilings and clever storage. The master suite has a fabulous tiled ensuite lit by a skylight, and the second bedroom has views over the garden. Double-glazing, subtle decor, and excellent heating and insulation complete the package, but the magic continues! Across a paved patio from the kitchen is an equally charming building that compliments the original dwelling, and has a guest suite with a bedroom and bathroom downstairs, and over the garage, there is a fantastic studio/home office/loft space with a Juliet balcony. This idyllic home is superb for entertaining alfresco style in sublimely serene surroundings. You owe it to yourself to come and view this timeless classic. Call us now to view.
