4 Queen St, Campbell Town TAS 7210
This brick, wood and stucco house has a history and is solid, well-kept and loved.
It is:
one of those big old houses of ever-unfolding hidden nooks and crannies and bolt holes.
ideally suited for those looking for a larger home or investment property.
perfect for someone who wants to get out of the rat race and work from home. There are so many possibilities: large family home, surveyor's or other professional's office, a base for businesses that need a base in the heart of Tasmania, a centre for health and well-being, a B&B. It has 3 titles on 3490m2 of land.
two houses back to back, connected by an air lock. Each house has a completely different feel. The front house, facing the street, was the local doctor's surgery for 75 years. The back section was added in the 1950s.
The large kitchen and dining room have natural surfaces: sandstone from Buckland on the East Coast, Tasmanian Oak flooring and silver wattle cabinets from a forest near Cradle Mountain. There's plenty of room for such seasonal rituals as bottling and canning your own fruits and vegetables.
The huge lounge room with high ceilings is perfect for cosy sectioning or using for parties. The large wood heater is positioned so that heat goes up the stairs to warm the second floor with its five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its floor is of parquetry blackwood, with a heat bank of bricks built into the wall behind the wood heater, installed when the kitchen was remodelled in 2004. It faces the peaceful, park like back garden.
The front house has a map room, where you could curl up in an armchair, let your gaze wander over the war-room sized map of the world, and dream ... and it's shady and comfy in summer heat.
The office/study, a former consulting room, faces the courtyard, with its lemon tree. The chimneys of this and the adjacent wood-panelled lounge room have been cleaned out. A Jet Master wood heater is installed in the office/study. A small room connects these two rooms, suitable for a walk-in wardrobe or storage.
The spacious, sunny laundry has pebble-stone flooring meant to withstand any of life's emergencies and batterings. There is room for washing, drying, airing, ironing and mending - all at the same time - with plenty of bench tops.
UPSTAIRS with the 5 bedrooms is a room suitable for an office/ study or storage. The spacious master bedroom and en suite offers a large tub perfect for soaking at the end of a day in the garden and wall-to-wall carpet that keeps your feet warm on cold nights, and overlooks the backyard and ancient pear and mulberry trees.
An Apricus solar hot water system has been installed; it works so well that you can forget about using the hot water electrical switch for up to six months a year.
There is a covered walkway from the house to the double garage, with a utility room plus plenty of off street parking and storage for caravan and boat.
All this located is in a wide, tree-lined street just around the corner from all the local restaurants and town centre. It's just a 50-minute drive to Launceston, 1hr 30 minutes to Hobart and 1 hour to the sunny East Coast with all that it has to offer.
Add your own personal touch to this magnificently positioned home and gardens while enjoying magnificent privacy.
