Nestled in the rich tapestry of Tingha’s history, this inviting home is brimming with appeal and enjoys a prime location. Boasting an interesting story, this property is a former Josephite Convent, and where Mother Mary MacKillop stayed during her 3 day visit to Tingha in May 1896. The wide bullnose verandah gives a welcoming first impression. The owners tell us this is the best spot on a winter morning to enjoy a cup of coffee and the morning sun. The original structure has been added to over the years to create a larger family home, now comprising 5 bedrooms (or 4 plus an office). 4 of the bedrooms have built-in robes, and the master bedroom also has an adjoining room that could be utilised as your own sitting room, dressing room, or office. Multiple living areas ensure there is somewhere for each member of the family to relax. The front lounge room is perfect for sitting by the warmth of the wood heater and catching up on your favourite shows. Second living room offers plenty of space to settle in and spread out, and has a built-in desk for a home office area, craft space or homework zone. Open plan kitchen and dining is centrally positioned between both the lounge rooms. Blending original features with modern conveniences, this kitchen contains an antique wood combustion stove, electric oven and cooktop, functional bench space, and an abundance of storage cupboards. Updated, modern bathroom with both a shower and bathtub, vanity and separate toilet. Next door, the walk-in linen press offers a great storage solution for your sheets, towels, and other belongings. Fenced backyard with built-in brick bbq and a bird aviary is a great space for entertaining. You will delight in this great shed with workshop, two parking bays, and power. Solar power can supplement your electricity bills. This 980sqm corner block is fully fenced, and just a short walk to the Church, Tingha Public School, preschool, post office, pharmacy, Royal Hotel, service station, playground, and Copes Creek. Inverell is located a 20 minute drive away, and Armidale just over an hour, for larger shopping and services. It’s one thing to live in a community-minded and history-rich village like Tingha, it’s even better when you can do it in this quaint home. * This home is offered for sale Walk-in Walk-out with most furniture included.
