Atkins Cottage - History meets Modern Comfort

Description

Historical Atkins Cottage built in 1873 is full of warmth and character and retains original features, including an unrestored cellar that remains as a hidden gem under the house. In 2008, the house was extended to create a wonderfully spacious five bedroom, three bathroom home. The transition from old to modern has been done seamlessly.

Some of the many features of this home include:-
- Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and solar hot water
- The original cottage has a formal lounge and dining room both with fire places, two spacious bedrooms, laundry, bathroom and an office
- At the other end of the house are three bedrooms, which include one with an ensuite and doors that open onto a delightful verandah, as well as a delightful sunny sitting room with gorgeous views over the property and a stunning bathroom complete with claw foot bath and separate shower
- The old and new are connected by a lovely light and bright country kitchen complete with a No4 Metters wood range which sits proudly next to a modern five burner gas stove
- There is a large powered workshop with a concrete floor, 2 shearing stands & an outside holding yard
- 230 established grape vines - 50% are Shiraz (red) and the other 50% are Viognier (white)
- There is a 50,000 litre water tank, a stone-lined well, a dam and an eye-catching feature of this property is an olive tree which was planted in 1873 by the New Norcia monks which stands over 25m tall
- 9.63 hectares (24 acres) of fertile soil is perfect for cropping, grazing or perhaps you may want to extend the vineyard or plant some more olive trees
It is located about five minutes' drive east of Pingelly village in a very pretty part of the area, and about 90 minutes to the metro area. This home has so much to offer including the possibility of a Bed and Breakfast or Farm Stay. It would be a beautiful home that you could be proud to call your own, either on a permanent basis or even as a weekend country hideaway.
