This turn of the century weatherboard farmhouse set on approx 2 acres in the middle of Bellingen is a rare find - ready to renovate. There are 3 large bedrooms, all with French doors to the covered verandahs, there's high ceilings, polished timber floors, an open fire place and an original kitchen complete with tiled hearth. There's plenty of room for kids & animals with 7731 sq m of land, and it's an easy flat 500m walk to the heart of Bellingen.

What a fantastic opportunity to own & restore one of Bellingens unique landmarks often referred to as "the old blue farmhouse opposite the hospital". The bathroom received some attention in recent years, as did the polished hardwood floors, but essentially this home is ready to renovate in your own style and colours.

The current layout is typical of its era with bedrooms either side of the front entry - both are around 4m x 4m, with 3m ceilings and there are two sets of French doors in each room, while the 3rd bedroom is approx 3m x 4m with one set of French doors.

The roof was replaced about 5 years ago, and the covered verandah that wraps around the eastern, northern & western sides is fully lined and semi enclosed making it a fantastic safe play area for small children.

The lounge room is approx 9m x 4m with two sets of French doors and an original open fire place which adjoins the tiled hearth in the kitchen that was once home to a slow combustion stove. The kitchen is original with reasonable cupboard space and minimal bench space, and could easily be extended into the adjacent enclosed verandah.

The laundry boasts an original deep, double concrete sink and the bathroom offers an original hand basin and bath with shower over, both in classic green. Plus there are plenty of other features that could be highlighted like the detail in the verandah posts, the timber frogs in the hallway arch and the original door handles.

The block itself is rare indeed - how many properties have you seen that offer 2 acres in the middle of Bellingen within easy flat walk of shops, schools, tennis courts and playing fields - and there's plenty of room to create your own private haven around the regenerating watercourse that attracts many birds and other wildlife.
