Flattened 360 degree image - a fantastic family home in a rare location
| Set on approx 1.5 acres (6042sqm) of very private, level and gently sloping land sits “Repton Castle” as it’s affectionately known by locals. Offering 4 bedrooms plus open study, 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets, together with a great workshop/playroom, big laundry, large storeroom and excellent cellar, as well as living, family, and dining rooms and an almost new kitchen. Separate to ‘the castle’ is a self contained studio/guest room, double garage and double carport. A fantastic family home in a rare location just 15 minutes from Coffs Harbour or Bellingen and 5 minutes to beach or river.
As soon as you enter this property through the feature stone gate and continue past the feature stone retaining walls to the circular driveway with its magnificent central garden you know you are somewhere special and almost immediately feel like you have left ‘the rest of the world’ behind. |

| You enter this magnificent home across the northern covered verandah, which is of course a favourite spot in winter, and proceed via the slate tiled entry foyer to either the living room/formal dining room complete with open fire and wood box or to the family/living room and informal dining area adjacent to the fantastic kitchen that was completely renovated around 2 years ago and now offers a stainless steel gas cook-top, self cleaning electric oven, warming drawer and steam oven, together with deep double sink, lots of cupboards and drawers and good bench space.
This area then opens through French doors to the large ‘back deck’ overlooking the park like grounds and enjoying absolute privacy. Throughout the entire home you will find beautiful double hung timber windows with the added advantage of being able to tilt out of the frames for easy cleaning (amazing).
Downstairs you will find the large (3.5m x 3m) laundry, a great (8m x 4m) workshop/playroom with timber and glass doors to the backyard, studio and a great (7m x 4m) cellar.
Outside now, the separate studio/guest room (9m x 6m) is a great space complete with kitchen, bathroom and laundry, tiled throughout for easy maintenance and adjoining a covered slate tile patio with classic arch windows to the north and the double lock up garage to the south.
Well we’re nearly out of room now but let’s take a quick walk around the grounds – set well back from the road this property offers optimum privacy combined with the practicality of a 6043sqm block (1.5 acres) level and gently sloping. |

In the garden you will find fruit trees, including orange, mulberry, mangoes and macadamia as well as magnolia, African tulip, fiddlewood, tibouchina, liquid ambers and jacaranda, as well as a beautiful fragrant gordonia hedge and hundreds of annual bulbs in the central driveway feature garden.
So there you have it, yes there really is more to the ‘Repton Castle’ and no you’re not dreamin’. A man’s home is his castle they say and medieval castles didn’t offer much for the ladies but this modern castle has something for absolutely everybody including mum & dad, the kids, the grandkids and the grandparents.
