39 Old Lancefield Road, Woodend, Vic 3442

"Give me land, lots of land", the old song goes, and this property will certainly give a new owner just that. A 1781-square-metre (0.45 acres) block surrounds a three-bedroom house that combines yesterday's charms with the comforts of today.

With this amount of land to play with, there's scope to put into effect a lifestyle big on entertainment and relaxation (think pool and outdoor room), or to head down the sustainability path with an orchard and/or a vegie patch to go with the existing chook house.

Original floorboards, picture rails and 2.7-metre ceilings stamp the home's era, but timber-framed windows have been enlarged to capture light, and kitchen and bathroom have been snazzed up.

Black granite-look benchtops, crisp white cabinetry, a return servery/brekkie bench, stainless-steel dishwasher and a Lofra cooker set in an old fireplace deliver a practical, appealing kitchen. An L-shaped lounge room with wood heater is downtime space.

Beyond a back porch, a concrete sitting area, defined by box hedges and under the shade of a chestnut tree, is the spot for a relaxed drink around a barbecue. And expansive lawns and rows of trees kick-start green-thumb creativity.
