With its delightful old world charm and romantic ambience, this historic country residence built circa 1905 transports you to a bygone era.

'Byron Creek House' has been immaculately renovated and delicately restored throughout, with the addition of contemporary notes that harmonise with the home's historic beauty.

Located at Talofa, near Bangalow, the home enjoys a convenient yet completely private setting. Here, you can enjoy a tranquil country lifestyle, yet only be a short drive from the cafes and boutique stores of Bangalow, or the beaches and buzz of Byron Bay.

The house is set on a beautifully landscaped 0.8 ha (two acres) that features established trees - including a grand old Jacaranda - gardens and sweeping lawns.

Graceful period features can be found throughout, including 14 foot ceilings, French doors and polished timber floors.

A seamless extension allows for the house to be enjoyed as one large home or with the versatility of essentially two three-bedroom homes in one - each fully self contained.

In one half of the home there are three bedrooms, including the master with walk-in-robe, along with a large open plan living/dining area with fireplace, well-equipped kitchen and separate study.

The other portion of the home has an additional three bedrooms, including a master with walk-in-robe, kitchen with modern appliances and large living space.

The wide wraparound covered timber verandahs can be accessed via French doors from most rooms in the house, provide an ideal shady place to entertain or relax.

Just steps from the house is a sparkling 11-metre saltwater pool with a covered cabana, perfect for cooling off on a hot day.

Other features of the property include solar hot water, 2 x 22,000 litre water tanks, a large workshed with power and water, dairy bails with a two bay shed, a separate studio and an easement to Byron Creek.

The home has dual occupancy approval and council approval for two new cabins.

Two minutes to Bangalow, and ten minutes to Byron Bay, this charming hinterland home enjoys an idyllic location in one of the country's most-sought after property destinations.

A series of open homes will be held starting on Thursday, January 21, across Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday (see above for details).
