About Regional

Built way back in 1874, this historic Gundaroo cottage presents a careful culmination of old and new.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">50 Morning Street</a> is affectionately known as ‘The Prickle Farm’, thanks to Mike and Janet Hayes, who purchased the property as a real ‘fixer-upper’ in 1981. The couple shared their many trials, tribulations and funny family stories in a popular ABC radio series of the same name, down to sharing their bathwater while icicles dripped on their heads from the thin ceiling above.<img alt="50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254-image-0-20240621053249461185-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254-ima.width-800.jpg" width="800">The Prickle Farm was featured on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTovXUeHBHM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">small screen</a> in all its ramshackle glory more than a few times. But these days, it’s lovingly restored and holds all the comforts you’d expect in a modern village home.Sales agent at <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Canberra</a> <a href="/agents/chris-dixon/">Chris Dixon</a> has lived in Gundaroo for three decades, and he reckons you can’t get more charming than this.“Often when homes like this one are renovated, you lose that sense of history,” he says.“But the current owners have taken a restorative approach, carefully enhancing the rustic flavour of each room without covering up the things that make it special.“From the moment you walk past the white picket fence and set foot on the front steps, which are proudly weathered from many a visitor, your eyes are drawn to original pieces: Cypress pine floorboards and flagstone floors, shiplap walls, high ceilings and low profile doorways all speak of a time long since passed.”<img alt="50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254-image-0-20240621053251158286-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254-ima.width-800_5AfOrze.jpg" width="800">Entry into the home’s sitting room makes a star of one of the first original features – a red brick fireplace, worn from years of use.“I can imagine the Hayes and their four children settled around the fire here, laughing about what they got up to that day,” Chris says.“Beyond the sitting room, three bedrooms and a fourth bedroom, study or rumpus room make this a great contender for growing families looking for that rural lifestyle.”Head through to the modern kitchen, dining and living area, and the house becomes light and airy. Despite being totally open plan, the space remains cosy thanks to a combustion fireplace in the centre.Yet another ode to the past is a freestanding clawfoot tub and coloured glass in the main bathroom. There is also a second, separate toilet next to the dedicated laundry.<img alt="50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254-image-0-20240621053254425225-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254-ima.width-800_7tpvRms.jpg" width="800">Once visitors experience the gardens outdoors, Chris says ideas are bound to start flowing.“You’ve got beautiful cottage gardens that border multiple entertaining areas, one with a wood heater to help keep the fun going on chilly nights.“There’s also a kitchen garden loaded with herbs and veggies ready for new custodians, a chook pen, and plenty of room to add your dream orchard or greenhouse.”But the pièce de résistance has to be the cedar barrel sauna, tucked into a leafy corner by the current owners. It comes equipped with a 6 kW Harvia heater and can fit four people with ease.<img alt="50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254-image-0-20240621053256824560-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254-ima.width-800_ew3Tu8q.jpg" width="800">A few steps down the old-style red brick path from the sauna is an expansive 96 sqm shed.“The current owners use it as a gym, storage and hobby area, but you could easily use it as a garage for that car restoration project or set it up as a hideaway for older kids,” Chris says.“There’s also a beautiful lawn right next to it for littler kids to play on while the adults watch from around the in-ground fire pit a few metres away.”The Prickle Farm comes equipped with a 7.47 kW solar system ready to reduce energy costs, two 20,000-plus litre rainwater tanks and dual access at the front and back of the almost 1900 sqm block.Gundaroo is just half an hour from north Canberra, with award-winning eateries, a local grocery and general store, a great little primary school and easy bus drop-offs for nearby high schools.You’d be forgiven for never wanting to leave home.50 Morning Street, Gundaroo is for sale by negotiation.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/50-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-103254/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/history-and-comfort-converge-at-famous-prickle-farm-in-gundaroo/782368" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

Historic Gundaroo cottage presents a careful culmination of old and new

Property

Looking for something a little rustic that still offers all the creature comforts of a modern home? Ultra-livable and surrounded by green, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/16-harp-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-101874/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">16 Harp Street</a> in Gundaroo celebrates simplicity, tranquillity and the timeless charm of country life.Complete with a picket fence and coloured glass panels on almost every window, this weatherboard cottage sits snugly on a corner block in the middle of Gundaroo village.Almost half an acre is plenty of space for a young family, a retired couple or professionals looking for a tree change. With established veggie gardens, a greenhouse/potting shed and a quaint chook pen ready to go, the home is ready to become a village grower’s paradise.An extra wide verandah welcomes guests to the home, complemented by the back deck overlooking low-maintenance gardens. On the roof is a 9 kW solar panel system, feeding into the grid to lower electricity costs, and there’s also a large water tank.<img alt="16-harp-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-101874-image-0-20240529014714059615-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/16-harp-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-101874-image-.width-800_IRxN1i5.jpg" width="800">Indoors, sunshine is king thanks to skylights scattered throughout.<a href="/agents/nicola-brady/">Nicola Brady</a>, director at <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/bradys-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bradys Real Estate</a>, says the home’s unique wrap-around floorplan offers plenty of flexibility for anyone wanting to make it their own.“The current tenants have swapped living and dining areas so they can eat and entertain amongst lush greenery right beside the kitchen.“Where meals would usually be had is now a cozy lounge space. It’s super versatile.”The kitchen features timber benchtops, a double sink and new Westinghouse appliances, including a built-in oven and gas hotplates. The real showstopper, though, is an antique wood stove set into the wall and still in working order.<img alt="16-harp-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-101874-image-0-20240529014707770189-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/16-harp-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-101874-image-.width-800_CP1A75v.jpg" width="800">16 Harp Street is all about delicate touches that add character. Ornate detailing on the ceilings ties in beautifully with solid hardwood floors, accentuated by a fresh lick of paint and new carpets in the study and sitting room.“Every bedroom is a good size,” Nicola says.“The second bedroom offers a dreamy window seat for book lovers to curl up in, and the master comes with its own slow-combustion wood heater – perfect for winter evenings.“It’s a home that is quaint but not cramped, unique yet flexible, and truly rustic without missing those important modern amenities.”Visitors who have long dreamed of their own sunroom can simply step to the back of the home, where they will find the perfect spot to soak up Gundaroo’s natural warmth.<img alt="16-harp-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-101874-image-0-20240529014708358705-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/16-harp-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-101874-image-.width-800_u5nyjT2.jpg" width="800">Gundaroo’s proximity to Canberra is just a bonus – the village’s friendly disposition and great amenities are the real prize.“I’ve lived in Gundaroo for 30 years and still absolutely love it,” Nicola says.“There’s a great mix of modern builds and historic homes. Gundaroo has managed to maintain its community feel, and we have a wonderful cross-section of locals from all walks of life.”The village is heritage-listed, has its own primary school, and hosts some of the region’s best fine dining at Grazing at Gundaroo. There are countless opportunities for residents and visitors to eat, drink, stroll and explore, and for commuters to the capital, North Canberra is just 20 minutes away.16 Harp Street, Gundaroo is for sale from $1,195,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/16-harp-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-101874/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/country-chic-cottage-living-in-the-heart-of-gundaroo/775716" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

Modern comforts meet rustic elegance

In the rural village of Gundaroo, the architect-designed <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">25 Morning Street</a> is almost hidden by leafy trees. You could be forgiven for thinking the rest of the home is as unassuming as its humble facade, but this is quite a property.“It has that classic Australian double-fronted design, with French doors on either side of a main door and a verandah,” says<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white-bungendore/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Bungendore</a> selling principal <a href="/agents/ellie-merriman/">Ellie Merriman</a>.<img alt="25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-image-0-20240403070203819003-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">“This home is quite unassuming from the front, but once you go inside, the appeal only continues.“It was designed by the architect to be not only really impressive but also really functional.”Three-metre ceilings give a sense of scale, while large windows let the natural light flow in.“You come into an open-plan living room that is filled with light because the windows face the north, and you look out over the fig trees,” Ellie says.“The kitchen is a very modern design with white marble and chrome.”<img alt="25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-image-0-20240403070158216863-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-imag.width-800_zt3Ncdm.jpg" width="800">Each of the four bedrooms has high-quality wool carpets, while the master suite has a fully tiled ensuite and walk-in closet. The remaining three bedrooms are queen-sized.Sales agent <a href="/agents/ava-merriman/">Ava Merriman</a> says the current owner is an interior designer who has used her skills to make elegant additions to the architecturally designed home.“Everything, from the paint choices to the finishes in the kitchen, has been really thought through,” she says.“This home is an example of a property that has been crafted by someone who is a professional.”<img alt="25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-image-0-20240403070200450796-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-imag.width-800_PWwRPuE.jpg" width="800">The 2023 sqm block boasts beautiful landscaped gardens, reminiscent of a storybook.“This is a bigger block, and this property would be great for someone who wants to have a nice garden or sit outside in the sun,” Ellie says.Ava says the home was built on land that used to be part of a strawberry farm, so it’s very fertile and water drains really well.“It has a lot of beautiful, flowering native and introduced flowering plants.”Fully irrigated, the gardens include an established vegetable garden, fruit trees and a chicken run.People can enjoy the green views in their backyard from the outdoor courtyard – or cook dinner in their pizza oven.“You walk through the door, and it feels like everything is in order after a long day,” Ellie said.“It makes you want to sit outside and have a cup of tea or a glass of Pimm’s because this property is a quiet, very beautiful space.”After a long day, a dip in the 2-metre heated pool (tiled in blue Italian mosaic tiles) is sure to be a common occurrence. A 19th-century galvanized shed has been converted into a pool house and rustic retreat from the main house.Solar panels, offset to the grid, add a sustainable touch, while hydronic in-slab heating throughout the house will keep you cosy when the mercury drops.<img alt="25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-image-0-20240403070157782949-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-imag.width-800_NFgKeZr.jpg" width="800">Ava says the timeless features bring luxury to the home, while the property’s size means there is room for everyone to find their space.“The home is very classic. It’s not a ‘hit you in the face’ kind of design,” she says.“Every part of the house has been thought about and designed to be simple but rich.”Moving to Gundaroo brings easy access to rural living in a close community.“We meet a lot of people looking to move to a property on a small acreage and have a more rural lifestyle,” Ava says.“Gundaroo was first settled in the 1820s, so it is an excellent example of a historic place with historic buildings and more modern conveniences.“I’ve seen people chatting with their neighbours, and the village has a cheerful, friendly vibe – you don’t get that everywhere.”25 Morning Street, Gundaroo is for sale for $1,990,000 - $2,190,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/storybook-home-in-morning-street-in-gundaroo-is-quite-the-eye-opener/763848" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>
