Almost hidden from the roadside, the lovely stone walls of ?Eden Cottage? slowly emerge from behind their leafy screen as you pull into the driveway of this historic ¾ acre property. You are sure to find this turn of the century Villa enchanting both inside & out.
There are delightful areas to the garden surrounding the cottage. Low maintenance natives, various shrubs, lavender & roses have faired the drought well, with bulbs now making their way into autumn. Numerous shady trees & gums are scattered over the property. You?ll discover an ancient stone well from the time of the original settlers, a magical gazebo, wood storage shelter & double garage.
After having explored the secret garden, make your way to the cottage via the shaded walkway edged with cascading greenery. A wide shady verandah to three sides of the home has iron lacework detail & is beautifully paved underfoot.
Inside the residence, exposed stonework & terracotta tiling to the kitchen & sunroom exude a charming, rustic feel. The heart of the home, the light & bright recently updated kitchen features both an original fireplace & fabulously preserved ?Metters? wood fire stove, still with plenty of room for a dining table.
The lounge is quite elegant with heritage style paintwork, a chandelier & quality woollen carpets. Fitted to the original fire-place in the magnificent stone wall, a slow combustion heater creates a cosy living space to spend winter months tucked away. Come summer, the living space opens up to the verandah area.
There are three bedrooms to this historic home, the master featuring another of the stunning stone walls. Mostly white, the appealing bathroom with corner spa tub was upgraded not so many years ago. The laundry discreetly shares the space.
Along a quiet country road steeped in history & where gigantic moss rocks & majestic gums stud the landscape, you?ll find this cottage & romantic getaway, perfectly cradled between the Barossa & Eden Valley, just waiting for the new Adam & Eve.
