Elevated above the heart of Little River, this remarkable circa 100-year-old residence is a home of true substance and soul. Once the local hospital, later a maternity ward and GP clinic, its rich history is woven seamlessly into a residence that now offers warmth, versatility and a deeply authentic lifestyle.

Evolved thoughtfully over time, the home unfolds with ease — four bedrooms, a dedicated office and an additional upstairs retreat provide flexibility for families, guests or those seeking space to work from home. At its centre, generous living and dining areas spill effortlessly through French doors and classic sash windows to the gardens beyond, creating a natural rhythm between indoors and out. The kitchen is light-filled and welcoming, complete with a walk-in pantry and space to gather over morning coffee.

Adding to the versatility of the home is a separate office/studio space, currently configured across three distinct areas — a large laundry, a music studio with running water, and an additional storage room — offering flexible options for working from home, creative pursuits, or a quiet retreat.

Beyond the home, the offering becomes something truly special.

A substantial studio and workshop presents a rare opportunity to live and create in one place. With three-phase power and impressive proportions, it is currently configured for artistic use yet easily adaptable — equally suited to creatives, trades, or those seeking a dynamic work-from-home environment or maybe an opportunity to create additional boutique accommodation in this magnificent setting.

The grounds are private, established and quietly enchanting. Meandering garden spaces, a productive vegetable plot, and a gorgeous pergola invite long afternoon lunches and slow evenings, while the fully fenced setting offers freedom for pets, children and a true connection to the land.

Elevated for sun, privacy and outlook, yet just a short stroll to the village, cafes and the much-loved Sunday market, this is a lifestyle that feels both removed and connected.

Homes of this history, scale and versatility are seldom found — and rarely offered.
