'Bird Nest'

3 Hereford Place is an amazing alliance between house and gardens.

When first establishing their new property, our owners' vision was to transform their 1.5 acre section of rich grazing country into a factual bushland setting to complement an equally natural home.

The Property's name of Bird's Nest confirms that they accomplished their mission.

Firstly, the warm and inviting 3 bedroom home would be quite at ease as a mellow artists' retreat in the wooded Dandenong Ranges, or the NSW south coast.

Along with its seamless connection of house with garden the home's salient charm stems from its clever mix of wrap-around verandahs, angled architecture, soothing environmental colours and sunny dual aspect living spaces.

The home's timber panelled hexagonal living area forms a geometric point of difference and is just the spot to relax on a Sunday afternoon with a steaming hot coffee.

It's a great chill-out room with dual-aspect garden outlooks through 4 sets of verandah sliding doors that trap the seasonal winter sunshine or naturally cooling summer breezes.

The room's open plan design allows you the layout freedoms to decide where to place your lounge and dining areas to best enjoy the prevailing room lighting.

The country style kitchen has plenty of meal preparation and storage spaces, gas cooktop, mobile preparation/storage bench and a bay window garden outlook.

All 3 bedrooms are large and include the fully segregated 32m2 master suite that has dual aspect sliding doors connecting to the north/south verandahs. The master bedroom's ensuite has foot warming under floor heating and was upgraded to include a chic' frameless rain head shower.

Both secondary bedrooms are well sized, with one having 2 sliding door sets out to the verandahs and gardens. This is a superb light filled room that's ideal for use as a work from home office or art studio.

Designed for low maintenance and water efficiency, the selection of native bushland plants radiating from the ornamental pond is truly amazing. Not only do the bird packed gardens give you secretive bushland paths to follow, they also provide high degrees of weather shelter, privacy and enjoyment.

As a bonus to an already first-class location, Bird Nest borders several acres of Merryville Estate reserve land which is easily accessed via a laneway that runs alongside the property.

Essentially, the Bird Nest is a natural gem of a property.
