I've just been notified by the woman who bought my house when I sold it a few years ago that she's putting it back on the market. Here's the link if you're interested:

As you can see from the current photos at this link, quite a bit has changed. But you can look through this blog for another view of its possibilities.

They give a clear view when looking out, and yet also give excellent security (you'd need an angle grinder to cut the stainless steel mesh, and they are triple locking). With these I can leave the doors open all night in summer to catch the cooling breezes. There's also a ceiling fan in the lounge to help the cool air flow Beth Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16724024594483022274noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003472504643134525.post-39322805508504464092009-04-11T22:31:00.000+10:002009-04-14T21:34:27.846+10:00still more garden photosthe mock orange tree(with a divine fragrance that wafts through the garden in early summer)the front steps and bird bathlavenderold gate near the clothesline areaBeth Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16724024594483022274noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003472504643134525.post-56292144873770873232009-04-11T22:24:00.000+10:002009-04-14T21:35:36.658+10:00up the backThe rear access to the propertyBack sitting spot with table and chairs under the gums.A great place to have a long lunch with friends.view from the back sitting spotBeth Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16724024594483022274noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003472504643134525.post-49534454135551020002009-04-11T22:04:00.000+10:002009-04-14T21:35:13.576+10:00the eighty year old sapling, tin and weatherboard shedThis shed was built by Enid Sharp's father, Mr Dean.Enid was born in the house in the 1920s, lived here as a childand kept it as a holiday house until she sold it to me in December 1999.Beth Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16724024594483022274noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003472504643134525.post-72823584918228316562009-04-11T21:00:00.000+10:002009-04-14T21:35:14.351+10:00vegies, and more of the garden..Part of the greens patch'Seven year Rocket'volunteer lettuces around the base of one of the small water tanksasparagusthe yoga spotHow to arrange an inspection...Beth Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16724024594483022274noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003472504643134525.post-84596228641375125562009-04-02T17:50:00.000+11:002010-07-26T23:02:43.851+10:00Time to move on, it was a fabulous house to live in...Here's how I described my house in the advertisement when I put it up for sale in 2009.

I've decided to sell my gorgeous house and garden in Creswick, Victoria. I’ve been here for nine years, and it’s been a wonderfully nourishing and healing place, but I feel it’s time for a big change.
The house is a 3 bedroom weatherboard cottage (or 2 bedrooms and a study), in one of the best streets in Beth Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16724024594483022274noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003472504643134525.post-58759493820279107822008-12-21T15:27:00.000+11:002010-09-09T14:17:42.567+10:00In memory of the Deans, previous owners of this house, and their daughter Enid Sharpe.
Thanks to Kevin for leaving these comments and letting me know about Enid's passing. Enid, who owned the house before me, and Lorraine, who used to visit as a child.BethIt is wonderful to see the photo's of the house which my grandparents (Joseph and Violet Dean) lived in for many years from the early 1900's.
My mother and her 3 sisters and brother grew up there.
I had great times visiting fromBeth Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16724024594483022274noreply@blogger.com0
