<p>Ballarat is a handsome Georgian farmhouse of immediate presence, its cream render facade punctuated by signature red-painted window surrounds, an elegant fanlight front door and a steeply pitched slate roof. Within, the house has been thoughtfully occupied by a family with strong creative and professional interests, resulting in a series of characterful, richly individual spaces that combine period integrity with genuine modern practicality.<br/>The entrance hall divides the ground floor naturally between family and professional life. To the left, a cosy sitting room with an original open fireplace and timber floorboards leads through to a spectacular open-plan dining room and kitchen spanning the full width of the rear. The dining room is anchored by a feature stove, with polished concrete floors and French windows opening to the west-facing garden; the kitchen, in a well considered contemporary extension, offers plywood cabinetry and a calm, workmanlike quality. Also at the rear, a wonderful garden studio — timber lined with a vaulted ceiling and full-height bookcases — opens directly to the garden and provides outstanding flexible space ideal as a home office, writing room or teenage retreat. A charming cloakroom and an excellent utility and laundry room complete the domestic accommodation, alongside a garage with parking.<br/>On the opposite side of the hall, a registered home office — with exposed stone feature wall, track lighting and a mood board wall — currently serves as the base for an architectural practice, though it would suit any number of professional or creative uses.<br/>Upstairs, the principal suite occupies the entire rear of the first floor, comprising bedroom, dressing room and en-suite bathroom, all with open views over the garden and farmland beyond. Four further double bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodation.<br/>The garden is generous and south-facing, with a level lawn and uninterrupted views over open farmland. Oil-fired central heating throughout. Ballarat sits within easy reach of St Helier, Waitrose, and an excellent range of both private and state schools at primary and secondary level.</p>
