What was the summer house for World War 2 Squadron Leader David Shannon and family is today an enduring, sympathetically extended residence that captures your heart from the moment you walk though its stone pillared gates and onto a sprawling Hills property watched over by ancient cedars and oaks.
Welcome to 'Alderwood'; a tightly-held and proud notch in Bridgewater's timeline, ready for its next custodians to enjoy its scale, stone-laden longevity and the freedom of a dual-accessed plot that shuts out the passing world and soothes the soul.
The sheer dimensions, soaring ceiling heights and embellished decorations alike ensure this C1886 home oozes a rare sense of grandeur, prompting visions of the summer dinner parties and gatherings with visiting dignitaries.
Let your imagination run wild for just a second and you'll see a life-made for a modern family thanks to its supremely versatile floorplan, bill-slashing solar panels, extensive off-street parking, underground wine cellar and that inspired rear addition.
The original exterior stone walls now form an internal feature of a boundless family room with matching high ceilings, porcelain tiled floors and a layout that lends itself to countless configurations.
Feeding the family room is an entire wing dedicated to a custom kitchen with granite benchtops, solid timber cabinetry, quality appliances, expansive island, period lighting, a light-grabbing bay window and a butler's pantry.
Every room, whether formal or otherwise, frames a distinct view of the outside world, where those ancient trees, meandering paths, raised veggie patches, secret nooks and the original stone stables (now handy shedding) make 'Alderwood' a fairytale, just a very real 5-minute drive from Stirling village and a short stroll to Bridgewater playground, historic Bridgewater Hotel & the Heysen trail.
