Historic Cottage with Artful
Contemporary Extension
Enjoying Views Over the Famous
Southern Vales to the Sea
This historic cottage seamlessly blends with its contemporary two storey architecturally designed extension, creating a luxurious light-filled residence nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac only a stone's throw from Willunga's town centre.
Comprising four bedrooms, two bathrooms (with rain showerheads, floor-to-ceiling travertine tiles, master bath), this residence features two large and distinct open plan living areas over two levels, each with magnificent views. The spacious upstairs living zone with Messmate timber flooring is the heart of the home with cathedral-like ceilings and French doors opening on to the extensive entertainer's deck, enabling guests to overlook the established garden and views to the sea.
The property's sympathetic and bespoke renovations are to the highest of standards and include Lime render walling specially imported from France and applied by hand. Updated roofing, plumbing, electricity, the addition of reverse cycle air-conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathrooms bring the abode into the 21st Century. Lovingly retained local slate shelving and cabinetry unique to cottages of this period and beautiful exposed timber beams in the country style kitchen is complimented by a Falcon stove, butler's sink and imported stone benchtops, with skylights illuminating both this space and the welcoming hall permitting sunlight throughout. Energy efficiency and the low maintenance ethos of the home are enhanced by the bespoke imported double glazed fire resistant uPVC windows and doors from Germany also enable the retention of the home's authentic historic character.
The lower floor enjoys a further large living area, two bedrooms, with the option of creating a third, as well as capacious storage and a further luxurious bathroom. Moreover, the verdant mature garden features an original stone outbuilding of a generous size recently restored as part of the owners' renovations. Further features include a large grassed area, fenced chicken coop, extensive plantings of fruit trees and vegetables in raised beds and terracing with feature walling utilising local stone.
Zoned for Willunga Primary and High School, this idyllic residence is well-suited for families with young children or those seeking a slice of country living within close proximity to shops and is just a 45-minute drive to the International Airport. Ideal for those who seek a heritage property with contemporary comforts, this lovingly restored home awaits the next custodian.
