PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

This property is currently not available.

With its coveted location on the Fosterton Loop, this rare slice of Dungog’s history on 2 very pretty acres only 10 minutes from town represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a property with unlimited lifestyle and income potential. The main home, the weatherboard School Master’s Cottage, has undergone an extensive renovation with all key projects completed and only minor works and personalised finishing touches remaining. There are three main bedrooms, one with built-in robes. The Master bedroom with open fireplace and ornate surround also boasts French doors to the verandah and front garden. Two adjacent sleepouts lend themselves to conversion into walk-in robes, sunroom or studio, while a fourth bedroom is currently utilised as a home office. The all-new, spacious family bathroom reflects old-world charm with large timber vanity, shower over a beautiful claw-footed bath and toilet. Overlooking the informal meals area, the heart of the home is the recently renovated, light-filled country-style gourmet kitchen with garden views, expansive preparation and storage space plus large island bench. Warm and inviting, the spacious lounge with slow combustion heating offers an ideal relaxation and entertainment space. An in-ground swimming pool is set amongst sweeping lawns and established rear gardens with plum, pear and citrus orchard. With its elevated aspect above the river flats, the property commands stunning north-easterly views over the Williams River and along the valley. Additional features include a heritage sympathetic palette, separate laundry with rear access, double garage and chicken house. One cement tank provides ample water for domestic and garden uses.

Set away from the main home, the Fosterton School House is now a comfortable accommodation venue. One queen-size bedroom opens onto a sunny deck that overlooks the surrounding farmland. A fully appointed electric kitchen, bathroom with vanity, bath, shower and toilet as well as a spacious light-filled lounge with slow-combustion heating and built-in storage offer comfortable living. With further modernisation, the School House offers exiting prospects as a bespoke B&B or guest accommodation venue.

While both homes require further enhancement, their potential is unlimited. A sublime aspect coupled with an exceptional location close to town and the Hunter’s many commercial centres and notable sites combine to deliver a captivating property with an idyllic lifestyle balance.
