Perhaps once in your lifetime, opportunity and serendipity magically align to offer you a golden opportunity.
We proudly present this historical country estate in Warkworth's fringe, previously known as Willow Lodge, a stately and grand English beauty. Not only does this estate represent timeless grace and storybook charm, but also the option to pivot and maximize, utilizing the additional annexes that offer home and income, Bed and Breakfast, and extended family living options.
Part of the significant history of this residence includes the office of Vernon Dyson, Solicitor, whose desk and chair are part of the chattels, including built-in cabinetry, a wonderful home office complete with separate access, with a nod to a respected local.
The dwellings are positioned on glorious park-like grounds, with circular driveway, established gardens, and stately trees, creating a sanctuary for bird life and guests alike.
Originally a stone cottage built circa the 1940s on 6110 sqm (more or less) and extended over the years to offer this graceful masterpiece. Spanning over two floors with a blend of authentic period features and endless potential to add
value, the main home offers three double bedrooms (two with an en-suite), two family bathrooms and two living rooms, a formal dining room, separate laundry, and a generous eat-in cottage kitchen.
Family and guests can relax in the generous step-down lounge, and wander through sliding doors to the quaint, paved patio. When separation is required, the extensive family room will work wonders, overlooking the beautiful garden setting. The country kitchen features a Butler's pantry, a standalone gas hob and oven, free standing Stanley wood stove, and a double dish drawer.
The detached self-contained two-bedroom annex and further guest accommodations are ideal for short or long-term guests and extended family stays. Complete with private outdoor living and access to communal living areas if required within the main home. (This works so well as a Bed & Breakfast)
The flourishing rose gardens that encircle the property are a feast for the senses. You'll enjoy the addition of lock-up garaging, substantial parking, potting shed, and other implement sheds on the property.
Just minutes from thriving Warkworth township, with all the convenience of a shopping precinct, restaurants, bars, and beaches at hand.
This dreamy place of willows, roses, and opportunities awaits you, the early bird definitely gets the worm here, so don't delay, see this today!
