While its exact date is unknown, the current owners have unearthed newspapers in the walls of their home during their extensive renovations that are dated as far back as the 1800′s
Just imagine owning a true piece of history in the historic mining town of Beaconsfield. What was once the Doctors house, there is a grandness about this place that has to be seen to be truly appreciated.
From its soaring high ceilings to the most amazing wide floorboards ever to be seen, not to mention the rough sawn weatherboards on the exterior, there is a timeless elegance that could not be replicated in a new home. The door step has had thousands of footprints worn into it and if the walls could talk, there would be a million stories to hear.
Having gone through a magical transformation while still keeping its original features, you can feel the warmth the home exudes. A traditional miner’s cottage layout but on a more extravagant scale, the extra wide hallway leads to 4 bedrooms, a large and airy bathroom complete with original iron claw foot bath and a second living room.
A modern layout using an open plan design is located at the back of the home making this very useable family friendly place to hang out but it still has original features plus a lovely wood fired stove to keep you warm on a winter’s night plus more of those amazing floor boards.
French doors and large windows have been added to allow the sun to stream in and the colourful gardens to capture your eye whilst you sit and relax.
This home looks like it could easily grace any home interior/ house and garden magazine page and in actual fact has, numerous times.
This is truly a testament to the love and dedication that has gone into transforming what was once an ugly duckling into something of true beauty.
A wide verandah gives you a place to sit and watch the world go by whilst you sip on your morning cuppa and the spacious 2428m2 (over half an acre) gives you plenty of space from your neighbours.
A double garage with power and concrete floor provides plenty of storage and workshop space to potter about and the yard is fully contained for the kids and pets with an adorable white picket fence.
If you love the history of a home in a town where it all began, then this is one home that cries out don’t pass me by.
Local schools, shops and amenities are a short stroll and Launceston CBD is an easy scenic drive under half an hour away.
