‘Berringa’, located at 587 White Rock Road, offers a four bedroom home on 7.5 acres of land.
Since purchasing it, the current owners have carried out significant renovations, seeing the house extended and updated.
Many of this property’s best features are small or hidden from view, but they certainly add to the appeal.
The first feature many will notice is the driveway, which, unlike what you come across at most properties of this nature, is concreted from top to bottom.
Drains at the very top of the driveway act as a water catchment, which is used to water the gardens.
Speaking of the gardens, the watering system is fitted with a sensor that will shut down the irrigation system in the event of rain.
Indoors, this home continues to command attention.
Like many rural properties, you tend to use a casual entrance, in this case a sliding door near the kitchen.
The door opens to a generous open-plan area, comprising of living and dining space, as well as the kitchen itself.
Exposed brick walls add a certain character to this space, aided by the timber style of the kitchen.
Among the features of the kitchen is the wealth of bench space and storage, modern appliances and a breakfast bar that would rival that of many other homes.
The tiled floor of this space is heated, a great benefit during winter in Bathurst and just one of the home’s climate control options.
“There is three forms of heating; the slab heating in the living and kitchen, central heating and cooling, plus a wood fire,” Masters Stephens Real Estate agent Tyson Smith said.
The four bedrooms of this home are accessible via a single hallway off the open-plan living.
The master bedroom offers garden views, generous proportions, a giant walk-in-robe and ensuite that features a spa bath.
What is worth noting about the home’s other three bedrooms is that the built-in-robes in each room feature a desk, ensuring the most is made of the floorspace.
“They’ve really thought about the design of this house,” Mr Smith said.
A number of features outdoors will certainly be on the wishlist for many people, including the saltwater pool, low maintenance established-gardens, covered patio with stunning rural views, solar panels, three-bay shed with workshop and fencing set up to be horse friendly and suited to livestock.
This home also has a C-Bus system indoors to control lighting and climate control, a second living area, study and attached garage with access to roof storage.
