Description
This unique property nestles in the hills above the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and is a 35 minute drive south of Hobart just past Woodbridge. Originally constructed as a church a century ago, the building has been recently converted and extended into a beautiful home that is a sympathetic blend of old and new.
The setting is private, quiet and picturesque with valley and water views. A one acre allotment, the property feels part of a much larger picture blending in with the surrounding landscape.
The "church" comprises a spectacular lounge room with original Gothic leadlight windows and Baltic pine lining and a wood heater. A wide staircase leads to a mezzanine level supported by celery top pine beams. Presently used as a bedroom and study the upstairs area could be utilised as ideal guest accommodation.
The new and extended kitchen / dining area with cathedral ceiling has custom-made kitchen cupboards and bench tops of recycled myrtle and Tasmanian oak. Cedar French doors lead to the private and sunny north facing deck.
The "west wing" extension consists of a new living area (or bedroom/artist's studio) with stunning views, a bedroom on the upper level reached via a Tasmanian oak staircase and a second bathroom on an intermediate level.
Eco features include solar hot water, double glazed windows and French doors and composting toilets. The home has a reverse cycle air-conditioning unit, wood fire and ceiling fans.
This is a bold renovation of top quality resulting in a home with flexibility of accommodation and a unique ambience.
