Overview
Set on an expansive land parcel close to the heart of Armidale, this character-filled 1963 home offers a rare blend of space and lifestyle potential on nearly one hectare. The generous 9,987 square metres grounds provide excellent opportunities, from subdividing or developing with council consent to embracing a versatile rural township lifestyle.
The residence itself stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship of its era with thoughtful renovations enhancing its character and comfort. Central to the home is a combined living and dining area, enhanced with modern reverse-cycle air conditioning and the warmth of a restored New Englander wood heater, making for year-round comfort in a home with charming hardwood floors and double-glazed timber windows.
The kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring gas cooking, ample storage, timber shelving and benchtops, along with durable European cement-tile finishes that extend thoughtfully to the main bathroom and laundry areas. Natural sunlight fills the adjoining sunroom, oriented to capture the desirable northerly aspect, creating an ideal retreat or secondary living space.
Insulation throughout the roof, underfloor and walls, along with a warm air distribution system, maximises energy efficiency and occupant comfort. An attic ladder grants access to valuable roof storage, and a modern picture hanging system thoughtfully caters to displaying artwork or photographs throughout the home.
Outside, the property extends into a covered alfresco area with power, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation separated from the main house. Practical additions include a double lock-up garage, storage shed, horse stables and an electric fencing system, supporting varied lifestyle needs from hobby farming to equestrian pursuits. The land is divided into three paddocks with rear access, enhancing versatility for future use or development.
Enhancing the property’s appeal is the natural boundary created by Dumaresq Creek along the rear, offering picturesque views and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Historical features such as preserved stock yards and a stock ramp add to the character and heritage of the site.
This property stands as an exceptional offering for buyers seeking substantial land close to town with a blend of lifestyle options. Whether for those interested in a spacious family home, an equestrian lifestyle, or the potential for subdivision and development, the thoughtful updates paired with the original charm make this a valuable investment in Armidale’s real estate market.
