Houghton's oldest surviving shop, the Old Bakery with parts dating back to 1850 has been sympathetically renovated and refurbished in a country style over the last five years and retains the original bakers oven.

Situated in a well maintained picturesque village just 25 mins to city schools, life is lived in a friendly neighbourhood where everyone is always willing to help out.
There are a few local events and amenities not to be missed - Carols in the Square, Pancake Day event, CWA high tea and soup days and the Houghton Auction. It's a two minute walk to the local Kindy and school, close access to Highercombe Golf Club and a pleasant walk to the recently renovated historic Inglewood Inn.

The owners have enjoyed the beautiful Autumn leaves and cooler summers, the local wildlife with Koalas in the trees behind, Kangaroos on Anstey Hill Reserve and the abundant bird life in the garden. Growing fruit and veggies which need the cooler weather like raspberries and gooseberries has also been possible.
It's a safe and quiet area where local kids play cricket in the street, there is the use of the local ovals and tennis court, enjoy night time swimming under the stars, breakfasts on the deck in the cool of the morning......for the owners it's going to be a hard place to leave.

Cottage gardens and a picket fence welcome you to the home which has dual driveways with under cover parking for at least 3 cars.

Stepping into the entrance hall, you are greeted by a combination of timber and tiled flooring with your master bedroom and bathroom to the front of the home and three super spacious bedrooms serviced by a full heritage bathroom to the side of the home.

The formal living room is perfect for cosy winter evenings in front of the combustion heater or a private reading room. It is here that you will find the original bakery oven.

At the rear find a fresh country kitchen/meals and living area, a relaxed and welcoming space, which enjoys lovely views across the pool to the terraced gardens, ideal for keeping an eye on the kids at play. This is a perfect hub for family entertaining with access to the covered deck area, surrounded in part by fruit trees and the vegetable garden.

Modern creature comforts fuse with the charm and include under floor heating and reverse cycle air conditioning, plus two combustion heaters.

A once in a lifetime opportunity to own such a unique and very special family home.
See it this weekend!
