Ant's​ ​"Fluff-Free"​ ​Description...

Some​ ​homes​ ​make​ ​you​ ​choose​ ​between​ ​the​ ​view​ ​and​ ​the​ ​shed.​ ​

This​ ​one​ ​laughs​ ​at​ ​the​ ​question.​ ​

A​ ​solid​ ​1985​ ​brick​ ​veneer​ ​on​ ​a​ ​level​ ​double-size​ ​block​ ​on​ ​the​ ​rural​ ​edge​ ​of​ ​Dover,​ ​with​ ​Port​ ​Esperance​ ​sparkling​ ​out​ ​the​ ​front,​ ​farmland​ ​rolling​ ​away​ ​behind,​ ​and​ ​an​ ​11.8m​ ​x​ ​9.0m​ ​powered​ ​garage​ ​waiting​ ​for​ ​whatever​ ​you​ ​tow​ ​home.

THE​ ​GOOD​ ​STUFF:

*​ ​Morning​ ​coffee​ ​with​ ​the​ ​wood​ ​heater​ ​ticking​ ​away​ ​while​ ​Port​ ​Esperance​ ​glitters​ ​through​ ​the​ ​living​ ​room​ ​glass.​ ​That​ ​view​ ​never​ ​gets​ ​old,​ ​and​ ​it​ ​never​ ​costs​ ​a​ ​cent​ ​extra.

*​ ​The​ ​shed.​ ​11.8m​ ​x​ ​9.0m​ ​of​ ​concrete-slabbed,​ ​3-phase-powered,​ ​high-clearance​ ​glory​ ​with​ ​work​ ​benches​ ​and​ ​natural​ ​light.​ ​Boat,​ ​van,​ ​race​ ​car,​ ​sawdust​ ​empire,​ ​it​ ​all​ ​fits.

*​ ​A​ ​level​ ​1,913​ ​m2​ ​(approx)​ ​double-size​ ​block​ ​wrapped​ ​by​ ​farmland​ ​on​ ​the​ ​side​ ​and​ ​rear,​ ​so​ ​your​ ​neighbours​ ​moo​ ​rather​ ​than​ ​mow​ ​at​ ​7am.

*​ ​The​ ​driveway​ ​loops​ ​right​ ​around​ ​the​ ​house.​ ​Hook​ ​the​ ​boat​ ​on,​ ​drive​ ​out​ ​forwards,​ ​wave​ ​at​ ​the​ ​people​ ​still​ ​doing​ ​seventeen-point​ ​turns.

*​ ​Three​ ​genuine​ ​bedrooms​ ​all​ ​with​ ​built-in​ ​robes,​ ​plus​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​studio​ ​off​ ​the​ ​carport​ ​for​ ​the​ ​home​ ​office,​ ​the​ ​hobby​ ​bench​ ​or​ ​the​ ​teenager​ ​who​ ​needs​ ​their​ ​own​ ​postcode.

*​ ​A​ ​spa​ ​bath​ ​to​ ​soak​ ​in​ ​after​ ​a​ ​day​ ​on​ ​the​ ​water,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​shower​ ​and​ ​a​ ​handy​ ​second​ ​WC​ ​by​ ​the​ ​storage​ ​room​ ​for​ ​muddy-boot​ ​emergencies.

*​ ​An​ ​open-plan​ ​kitchen​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​room​ ​at​ ​the​ ​heart​ ​of​ ​the​ ​home,​ ​flowing​ ​to​ ​the​ ​living​ ​room​ ​so​ ​the​ ​cook​ ​never​ ​misses​ ​the​ ​conversation​ ​or​ ​the​ ​view.

*​ ​A​ ​north-facing​ ​sunroom​ ​entry​ ​that​ ​traps​ ​the​ ​winter​ ​sun​ ​and​ ​makes​ ​coming​ ​home​ ​feel​ ​like​ ​a​ ​small​ ​occasion.

*​ ​Established​ ​gardens​ ​and​ ​your​ ​own​ ​little​ ​orchard​ ​of​ ​fruit​ ​trees​ ​Homegrown​ ​apples​ ​taste​ ​better​ ​when​ ​you​ ​can​ ​see​ ​the​ ​bay​ ​while​ ​you​ ​pick​ ​them.

*​ ​Sixteen​ ​solar​ ​panels​ ​on​ ​the​ ​roof​ ​and​ ​a​ ​rainwater​ ​tank​ ​backing​ ​the​ ​town​ ​supply,​ ​quietly​ ​shrinking​ ​the​ ​bills​ ​while​ ​you​ ​enjoy​ ​the​ ​good​ ​life.
