About this property
We have great pleasure bringing this very special and iconic Waimate North Homestead, to the market. Press the remote and the “old picket style” gates open, drive in and your breath will be taken away as you first catch sight of this Category 2 Listed Home. Formerly known as Aspley house and “The Atkinson home” named after Frederick Atkinson, who built it in the 1880's and after his family home in Huddersfield.
The home itself has been respectfully, but extensively refurbished and upgraded over the last decade (insulated throughout/centrally heated) and now offers a truly practical family home, yet retaining many of the original features. Finishings are stylish, often bespoke, but always sympathetic to the home's history. In fact you will often find yourself transported back to that bygone pioneering age.
This is a large home with a formal dining room, two further reception rooms and a large office (originally a fourth bedroom) on the ground floor, together with a recently fitted kitchen, a bathroom and a large covered area at the rear.
Two flights of stairs lead you up to three gorgeous bedrooms, two more sumptuous bathrooms and a useful storage room. Outside the ornate wrap-around verandah allows you to chase the sun or escape it, finding the right spot for morning teas or evening drinks. A recently added garage/workshop blends perfectly into the picture, with space for lots of toys or whatever hobbies you might wish to indulge in and a variety of garden sheds add even more practicality to this lovely lifestyle property. Mature trees, shrubs and a variety of fruits sit on the expansive, virtually level lawn and with all of the buildings set towards the rear of the land, the large roadside bushes give you a really nice sense of privacy and quiet.
