Description

Perched atop Saint Lawrence Hill, this distinctive Victorian property, originally constructed as a school, presents a unique canvas for renovation enthusiasts. The residence boasts breathtaking countryside vistas extending towards the tranquil River Blackwater coastline. Featuring a blend of character and potential, the layout consists of a reception hall/living area, a ground floor shower room, and a versatile study with ample natural light from its dual aspect windows. The kitchen is accompanied by a utility room, while the first floor houses two generously sized bedrooms—one with stunning views to the south and west—and a second bedroom that has been adapted into an additional shower room. The exterior includes mature gardens at both the front and rear, with several original brick outbuildings adding character and endless possibilities for development or restoration. Parking is available alongside an attached weatherboard garage. While the property requires significant renovation throughout, it offers an exceptional opportunity to transform it into a one-of-a-kind home tailored to your vision in this serene setting. Please note that upgrading the current non-compliant private drainage system will be necessary. Energy rating details are yet to be confirmed.
