The Home

Weathered, recycled red-brick, timber, and slate combine to create a place which is rustic and charming. Inviting and embracing. This lovely 3 bed X 2 bath home has enormous charm with a strong rustic, rural, farmhouse feel.

The spacious, open plan living / dining / kitchen area is slate tiled with raked, high, timber ceilings and solid timber supports. The entrance is framed by leaded glass depicting local flora. A pair of Kookaburras look out over the garden from another leaded window, above a neat work-space nook.

In addition to the 3 ground floor bedrooms a long mezzanine space runs the length of the house above the kitchen and bedrooms, overlooking the living area. Could easily be additional bedroom space, a games room, studio or second living area.
 A great space with lots of possibilities.

The kitchen is quality fitted with the home chef in mind. A free-standing Belling oven with 5 ring cooktop and range-hood is the centrepiece. An olde-worlde wood burner stove in the adjacent alcove is in fully working condition. The side wall houses another double Belling oven set. There is a fitted dishwasher and large solid timber working top. 

This is a kitchen which will keep the family close.

The dining and living spaces are separated by a feature slow burner wood stove and brick surrounds. Large windows and doors on all sides allow plenty of light in and provide good views of the gardens. 

As a lovely connection to local history, we are told that the hanging clock in the living room is from the old Chidlow Railway Station and that the timber beams supporting the roof are recycled from the Fremantle Woolstores. Irreplaceable!

The charm doesn’t stop there! A central passageway leads to the bedroom wing along the back of the house. A bathroom and laundry are at one end of the house with another leaded door to the outside. The main, sensational, bathroom sits at the other end. This lovely room has a shower and full size bath encased in slate tile complete with wooden serving hatch to the living room! 

You can lie in luxury in the bathtub, get your chilled champagne delivered through the hatch and watch TV all at the same time!

All bedrooms are large, carpeted and have BIR’s.

There are wide, brick paved verandahs front and to the pool side of the house which add extra space and appeal to the look of this home.


The Block

Is a rectangular shape, reasonably level with a gentle slope from the north to the south. The block is mostly tree covered, with beautifully cultivated gardens around the house.

Wallaby Way is a short cul de sac with only three blocks on each side and three having access at the end circle. 110 is the middle block on the eastern side of the road. 


The Outdoors

A very secluded, private, fully fenced and gated property. Fencing is post and ringlock on all sides.

A well paved driveway is a major plus to this property and runs to both the front and rear of the house. Directly to the drive-in double garage at the back.

The gardens around the house have been cultivated with genuine care and passion and will captivate gardening enthusiasts. Running between the beds are paved red-brick pathways. The gardens are fully reticulated with a slow drip system. The gardens are a real feature of this character home.


The Double Garage

Has single phase power, roll down door, single door access from the back, and a concrete floor. Spacious and functional.


The Sheds / Workshop

Main shed is approximately 3 X 9 with single phase power. Sky-light roof panels improve visibility inside, and a wide sliding door provides good access. 

The shed also has a solid concrete floor with steel truss roof frame. There are spare trusses on site if a buyer would like to extend the shed.

There are also garden and wood sheds.


The Pool

Below ground fibreglass pool with sand filter and salt chlorinator. 
The pool is fully security fenced and paved and lies just off the side patio. 

Perfect location for dipping while entertaining or relaxing under the cover of the wide verandah.
