Slow life……. country air……...nothing to do but move in and relax. Built in 1853 and enchanting in every manner, Latch Cottage presents today as a lovingly maintained settler's cottage. Originally part of the original Berry Hill Farm, it epitomises the ultimate in quality country style, it has been extended with an eye for sympathetic detail, creating an environment of peace, reflection, and tranquillity. What We Love: • Retaining all the charm and detail of a traditional settler's cottage, the home is surrounded by a rainbow of ever-changing cottage gardens, original stone walling and a return veranda perfect for perching and taking in any aspect of the surrounds. • Stylish and functional, the new galley kitchen is modernised yet retains charm with the original wood stove and stone surround. • Bedrooms two and three are traditional of the era, complete with story book windows, carpet for underfoot comfort and heat banks for the cooler months. • The dining room overlooks the front veranda and is cosy yet sizable enough to accommodate family size dinners. Recently upgraded, the slow combustion and feature stone surround finish the space. • Extended in 2013 by the current owners, the modern section of the home is sympathetic in design. • The family bathroom provides shower/toilet and incorporates modern laundry facilities. • A large, open family living area with floor to ceiling windows overlook the sizable entertainment deck. Finished with reverse cycle air conditioning, the feature slow combustion fireplace with crafted stone chimney acts as the centrepiece. • Outdoor entertaining deck made of composite decking ensures maintenance is minimal. • Linen storage facilities are cleverly designed to integrate flawlessly into the wooden clad lounge walls. • The Master, thoughtfully located off the main living is well separated from the other sleeping quarters in the original home. Complete with split system reverse cycle a/c and ensuite with underfloor heating, all modern comforts are taken care of. The Grounds: • Established Orchard of over a dozen differing producing trees • Established vege patch in large, raised beds • Large enough to feel solitude and small enough for easy maintenance, the 1.7-acre block exhibits consideration of design, topography, and function. • Immediately drawing the eye, the large drive through barn is concreted with power and incorporates two separate sheds for workshop and an ideal man cave. • Adjacent the barn, sprawling lawns and an undercover entertaining/BBQ space cater nicely for casual entertaining. • Rainwater tank storage connects to the barn and cater for water storage with petrol pump and fire hose. • Currently home to a few friendly Alpacas, the fenced paddock includes an animal shelter. Dotted with gums, there is adequate shading for livestock. • 100,000L rainwater services the home • Well with pump for irrigation A sensational home, weekender or AirBnB, approximately 7 minutes to Gumeracha and Lobethal and approx. 35 - 40 minutes to the tollgate. This is a must consider for all tree changers with an appreciation for finer details.
