‘Victoria Cottage’ is to be sold for only the second time. One of the township’s original farmhouses, the property is believed to date from 1880 and was tightly held by descendants of the pioneering Cooke family.
The main house features a traditional farmhouse kitchen which has been restored and renovated with a modern chef’s stove and appliances, while retaining such details as the original fireplace. This house has three to four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large attached artist studio or workshop space.
A second fisherman’s cottage has two bedrooms, large lounge and a modern kitchen and bathroom. This cottage has an attached double garage and workspace.
The large level block, approximately 2000sqm, is the size of three to four normal housing blocks. It is 150m level walk to the town centre, and 400m walk to the picturesque boat harbour and the protected ocean swimming pool. The excellent surf break at Werri Beach is less than a kilometer away.
The Hampton’s style family compound is perfect for extended family holiday accommodation. Other possibilities include holiday letting or, subject to council approval, use as a Bed and Breakfast. The medium density zoning gives present or future possibility to subdivide and further develop. Wide coastal views would be afforded from any two storey addition.
Gerringong is a one hour 50 minute drive to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and two hours 35 minute train ride from Martin Place Station.
