From the moment you enter into this 1851 Miner’s cottage built from solid local limestone you realise you’ve walked into something special.
Beautifully restored with meticulous care and thought, the cottage is a combination of today’s luxury and convenience with yesterday’s charm and ambiance.
The main entry invites you into the spacious lounge room highlighted by the light filled raked ceiling and the gorgeous fire place and mantle all ready for those chilly winter nights. The tastefully stained timber panelling ceilings in all rooms including the bathroom offer both warmth and appeal to the entire home.
All three bedrooms are of a generous size with the third bedroom offering the versatility of a second living area due to its size, with the convenience of outside access to the paved Tuscan style courtyard.
The natural light filled kitchen/meals area simply takes you back in time, featuring a period wood stove supported by a conventional electric stove and oven, beautifully finished slate floor and good cupboard space with solid timber tops.
The cottage is complete with a large rear multipurpose space featuring an open plan laundry, separate toilet and a gorgeous renovated bathroom classic in style featuring a traditional claw foot bath and pedestal basin.
Outside again you seem to step back in time with the rustic presentation of the fully fenced 1306sqm allotment that features an old Aussie Dunny -(now a wood shed), chook run, housing shed plus an historic 20,000 gallon concrete water tank. The yard itself is of an easy care nature with sustainable cottage plants and a mixture of recycled red brick paving and gravel paths that takes you to the serene peaceful pockets that the property offers.
The cottage has been completely re-wired and plumbed with a new Enviro-cycle waste system, and gas hot water service.
The cottage truly needs to be seen to be appreciated and will be hard to resist for the early few lucky enough to seize the opportunity to purchase such a charming piece of history.
