This delightful cottage originally built in 1900 as one of the first homes in Lipson, still retains its old world charm, even as it continues to be updated and maintained. Its had an interesting life, and holds a lot of memories for those that have had the honour of a night or three.

Lately, it’s been in need of a bit of extra TLC, and the current owners are feeling the weight of illness and time. It needs your energy, there’s no doubt. But, for the adventurous and the astute, there lies a hidden gem, ready to live once again and give perhaps another hundred or so years of warmth and coolness.

For some facts, it’s a three bedroom stone cottage with timber floors, two fireplaces, a kitchen, laundry and a bathroom.

There are multiple sheds of varying sizes from the 3m x 2m convertible washhouse outside the back door, the standard 6m x 6m garage nearby, and a plethora of shadehouses too.
Let’s not forget the high roof 9m x 6m plus lean-to shed on the side entrance.

All of this sits on a corner allotment some 2000 square metres or so.

There are the apricot trees that it gets its name from, as well as almost every other fruit that grows in the area.
There’s a chook house.

It has been rewired some time ago, and the plumbing has been improved. Someone gave it a new roof.

The one thing it does have in abundance is character and feel. All it needs is someone to be there in its time of need. At this price, it makes sense to see the potential before someone else fixes it up and gets the reward.
