5 bedroom house

This classic circa 1840 homestead on Tasmania's East Coast comes to market at spring-time, bringing the wonderful country gardens at "Sanda House" into colour and new life along with fruit trees festooned with blossom. Buyers searching for a country lifestyle, heritage home and with the style and durability of stone construction plus a love of Tasmania's East Coast, should inspect.

Currently held as a private residence offering 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms plus outbuildings, 33 Walpole Street could also be returned to service as a BnB home business 'walk in walk out'. A traditional BnB experience for the enjoyment of travellers yet to experience a significant coastal stone residence at the very beginning of Tasmania's 'Great Eastern Way' premier tourism route, has been an award winning business in the past.

'Sanda House' is the oldest house in the Orford area and was at the hub of the Orford community with the same family owners as the local post office for 64 years between 1876-1940. Also incorporating 'Rose Cottage' circa 1825 developed almost 200 years ago, the ambience of this unique colonial property inspires all who visit.

The homestead style residence includes private owners' quarters and is set on over one acre of level grounds including a productive vegetable garden, chicken run and an orchard while maintaining a dignified balance of space and privacy from neighbouring properties. Recent improvements to 'Sanda House' include polished timber floors, new carpets, refreshed internal paintwork, some new appliances and the conversion of 'Rose Cottage' to a convivial fireside 'Den' ready for a memorable, fireside sampling of Tasmania's finest beverages.

Featuring an attic bedroom with dormer windows, a generous veranda with authentic flagstone paving and with a mix of internal feature stone walls, tasteful décor, furnishings and unique Oyster Bay Pine timbers, 'Sanda House' presents as a well maintained and historic home for the enjoyment of your guests, family and friends. One which we are confident will prove a profitable investment for those seeking both lifestyle and or an income in the property hotspot which Tasmania has become.

The air conditioned and sunny owners' suite includes separate lounge / dining areas with a toasty wood combustion heater, modern kitchen and double bedroom with ensuite and sunny garden views. External storage includes a freestanding lockup garage workshop of 118 sqm floor area suitable for the storage of vehicles or a generous crafts space.
