The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, located just off Halfpenny Drive in the sought-after Laffing Waters area in north-east Bathurst, has a Queensland room that has to be seen to be appreciated and a backyard where the hard work has already been done for those who want to fill their kitchen with fresh, home-grown food.
The 6.5 metre by six metre Queensland room, which can be accessed from the lounge room and has rural views from one side, is a big space that is ready for both the Bathurst summer and the long Bathurst winter.
In the winter, it can be closed up, while still letting in plenty of light, and used as a play area for the children or an entertaining or social area for the adults who don’t want to feel cooped up inside.
And in the summer, when the weather is hot and it can be unpleasant to be in the full sun, it can be opened right up to let the breeze flow through.
The room has windows, screens, bi-fold doors and a pitched roof.
The backyard features a number of established fruit trees and eight raised bed vegetable plots that will, between them, provide plenty of riches during the growing season with just a bit of water, a bit of time and a bit of care.
For the budding backyard gardener who likes the idea of growing their own food but does not know where to start, or who doesn’t relish the hard work of digging a plot and establishing it, the raised beds will no doubt be an appealing feature of the house.
Inside, 11 McGill Close has a formal dining and lounge and a large living area, meaning there is plenty of space to spread out for even the large family.
The main bedroom at the front of the house has bay windows and an ensuite with a generous shower, while the house also features internal access from the garage and attractive bamboo floors.

The home has a split-system reverse cycle air-conditioning unit, two electric heaters, gas cooking and a dishwasher and breakfast bench in the kitchen.
All the bedrooms have built-ins and the practical three-way bathroom will appeal for those with children who don’t want arguments about access to the bathroom basin.
The house has a big side access that could be used for a boat, caravan or trailer and a garden shed to hold all the backyard gardener’s equipment and supplies.
The property is on the market with Century 21 Bathurst for $489,950.
