England's Creek offers a unique blend of traditional country values and inspired modern living, creating a distinctive rural lifestyle property. The homestead, spanning 351 square meters, was built in two phases and features a light-filled glazed entry foyer that connects the original bedroom wing to a newer living area.

The north-facing addition was designed to maximize natural light and capture stunning views of the surrounding gardens, water features, and outlying land.

The kitchen is fully equipped with ample preparation and storage space, including a 90cm stainless steel cooker and a large stone-topped island bench measuring 290 by 120 centimeters, ideal for family breakfasts. Additional pantry space is available in a 21 square meter laundry and utility room located behind the kitchen.

The gardens are meticulously planned with green lawns, mature specimen trees, colorful flower beds, and water feature ponds that attract wild ducks. Designed for tranquility, the outdoor spaces offer numerous shady spots perfect for relaxation.

The property sits on a 40-acre block ideal for grazing sheep, horses, and recreational use. There is also an option to purchase an adjacent 31-acre property known as England's Creek Vineyard, which shares a boundary and would create a combined 71-acre parcel with a productive vineyard and enhanced rural production potential.

Technical specifications include a residence with 219.5 square meters of living area, 66.82 square meters of covered verandah, 18 square meters of covered alfresco, and a 54.72 square meter attached carport, totaling approximately 359.1 square meters under roof.

The additional pantry/laundry/utility room measures 21 square meters and the home is powered by a 2.2 kW solar system.

The bedroom wing covers 84 square meters and includes three bedrooms. The spacious master suite features a recently upgraded ensuite and dressing room with direct access to the rear verandah. Two bedrooms have built-in robes, all three have verandah access, and there is an office/study area and family bathroom.

Climate control is achieved through solar passive design and double glazing in the 2011 section, a split-cycle air-conditioning unit in the main living area, and wall and ceiling cavity insulation. Hot water is supplied by a Rinnai infinity gas system in the newer section and electric in the original section.

Garaging includes a 7.2 by 7.6 meter carport with 227 cm clearance and internal access to the home, plus a 10 by 10 meter post and tin detached farm shed/garage with 250 cm open front clearance. There is ample parking for guests and larger vehicles adjacent to the home.

Water supply includes 120,000 liters of above-ground rainwater for household use, a rear dam/pond with water pumped to multiple taps, a surface collection stock dam, and Spring Creek running through the property feeding into England's Creek, which borders the southern boundary. The property holds riparian rights to England's Creek.

Sewerage is managed by a bio-septic system with treated water dispersed around the garden areas.

The block is 16.07 hectares (approximately 39.71 acres) of freehold land, sheltered and level near the entry and house block, rising to mildly undulating land suitable for horses, sheep, and alpacas. Dual occupancy is permitted under R1 zoning.
