11 Holborn Hill Rd, Aldgate SA 5154

A substantial extension more than doubled the original footprint, executed so sympathetically that it's hard to know where the original cottage ends and the rest of this solar-powered home begins.

There's no denying where the social, expansive heart of this 2015-renovated home is; enter a central kitchen with deep blue hues, shaker-style profile, walk-in pantry, breakfast bar, stone benchtops and 900mm freestanding oven.

A procession of living zones interconnect at the kitchen's feet, including a casual dining zone, living room and formal lounge/dining, each showcasing the heavenly high ceilings and timber floors that define this gracious, time-honoured home.

Your bedroom, a study or fifth bedroom and a bathroom with artisan tile floors and semi-freestanding bath sit in the newer section, far removed from the original cottage and its three bedrooms, retreat and bathroom.

That original cottage wing adds another layer of flexibility to the floorplan, with clear scope to function as a self-contained base for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or independent young adults who need their own space without leaving home altogether.

Outside, more than 150sqm of verandah and deck wraps the home in places to gather, while the flat grassed expanses, established gardens and mix of fruit and ornamental trees give the grounds a rare softness and scale, balancing open space with that storybook beauty.

For all its old-soul charm, this is a property with its practicalities beautifully sorted, including a powered shed, three driveways and full vehicle access around the grounds, ensuring family members or guests can come and go via multiple entry points without disrupting the rhythm of the rest of the home.

Near enough to Aldgate for a quick coffee, close enough to Stirling for everything else, and elevated enough to feel like a true departure, this is a grand Hills home of rare stature, timeless beauty and magical breathing room in one of the village's most coveted pockets.
