5 Swift Road Coffee Camp NSW 2480

This stunning 2,715 sqm (over 2/3 acre) property will capture your heart and imagination. Surrounded by hills and farmland it offers the luxury of rural living without the maintenance.

A stunning example of federation architecture, this home was the original headmaster's accommodation for the nearby Coffee Camp Primary School and was often used for classes. Renovated superbly, it maintains all the original features with hardwood lining boards, timber floors, high ceilings, leadlight and stained-glass windows, French doors, picture rails and fretwork. Combining the aesthetics and longevity of the past with modern lifestyle essentials, this exquisite home will make your heart sing.

The home has 3 beautiful BEDROOMS, all are well sized, light-filled and romantic. Two have French doors to the verandah and one has French doors to a closed in verandah that serves as a perfect office space or craft room. The floors are comfortably carpeted and ceiling fans will keep the air flowing in the warmer months.

The KITCHEN has been renovated sensitively, maintaining the original features and incorporating them with modern conveniences successfully. The old woodfire stove recess with brick surrounds is now a beautiful pantry with leadlight doors. A 4-burner gas stove and electric oven with rangehood sits comfortably in its surrounds of Terrazzo and timber benchtops. Windows open onto the Eastern verandah where outdoor entertaining is easy and delightful. A new ceramic butlers' double sink is in keeping with the charm of older times.

The winter LIVING ROOM has polished timber floors and a woodfire box positioned in the old open fireplace, heating the home brilliantly. Beautifully married into its surrounds, it will have a custom made mantlepiece of timber and wrought iron, created by a local Uki blacksmith, (not completed in time for the photos). Lovely wide French doors open onto the Eastern verandah enhancing natural ventilation in the summer and accessing the outdoor entertainment area.

The piece de resistance for me, is a large SUMMER ROOM on the southern side of the home, enclosed with flyscreen netting and looking out to the palm tree and exotics forest to the rear of the property. It is where you will wile away many summer evenings. In the wet or cooler seasons simply roll down the clear blinds for protection and warmth.

The beautiful BATHROOM has slate floors, a modern free-standing, claw-foot-style bath, a beautiful window overlooking the gardens with stained glass windows and door incorporating the charm of yesteryear with the comfort of today.

THE VERANDAH wraps around the Northern and Eastern sides of the home and takes in the gardens. An outdoor entertainment area is connected to a BBQ area complete with sink, whilst also being accessible to the kitchen via the window servery.

A separate LAUNDRY completes the home picture.

An air-conditioned GUEST ROOM is situated at the end of the double carport. Once the original garage, it has oodles of charm with its cathedral ceilings and French doors at either end.

THE SHED complex comprises of a lock-up 2-bay garage and workshop, a SOUNDPROOF music room or art space and a 2-bay carport large enough to house a caravan or heavy machinery. A separate driveway allows access to the shed without disturbing the house. A covered walkway connects the shed with the home.

The GARDENS deserve great mention. Stunningly designed with brick paved pathways meandering through beds of flowering native and exotic plants, past ponds and over bridges. Plenty of lawn to lie on in between and multiple hidden garden pockets to experience . Fruit trees are dotted throughout the grounds. Amidst this beauty is a fenced vegie garden all mulched and ready for next season's planting.

A SPA BATH, complete with rotunda roof for shade and shelter and snuggled into its garden surrounds, will delight all year round.
