The sweetest wee thing you ever did see! Every bit the "cottage in the country", complete with traditional front verandah, wide-open rural views and a one-acre rustic garden setting. You can't help but fall completely head over heels here, and that's before you even step in the door! Inside, the old and new have come together beautifully where character features have been lovingly celebrated, and the spaces opened up and modernised for everyday living. Moody colours, textured wallpaper, tongue and groove timber detailing and unexpected pops of personality give the interior a look that is full of soul. The living spaces are generous and light-filled - throw open not one, but two sets of French doors and let summer spill out onto the large deck, or light the free standing woodburner and settle in for winter. The open-plan layout keeps everyone connected, while the bold kitchen makes great use of the space and captures plenty of sun. Two good sized double bedrooms and a tidy bathroom that incorporates the laundry in a clever, space-saving layout. And then there's outside... Soak under the stars in the outdoor bath with plumbed-in hot water, gather around the outdoor fire, potter away in the garden or retreat to the little studio shed. The expansive deck is the place to be when entertaining, and even a powerpoint ready and waiting for a spa pool. Set on an acre (4,011m2), there is room here to create your own little slice of country life. Make the most of the existing fruit trees, plant a vege garden, keep a few chickens or fence off a paddock for a couple of animals. Located in the Flemington community, this is rural living without completely disappearing off the map. Flemington School is just three minutes away, while the nearby polo club adds to the sense of the country lifestyle on offer. You can enjoy the peace, privacy and slower pace of the country while still being only 20 minutes from town. Very rarely do cottages in the country pop on the market - so best be in quick for this!
