This property was purchased by the current owner in 2002 and to look at it today it’s hard to believe that it is the same cottage. Its location on Percy Street would make finding a better spot to live a difficult task being close to the town’s CBD, the historical Wellington Museum, St Patrick’s Catholic Church built in 1917 and Cactus Cafe & Gallery which was formerly the St Mary’s infant’s school.
This beautiful cottage has been completely renovated throughout with the addition of an attic, new roof, tastefully renovated bathrooms, country kitchen and open living. Let’s highlight the upstairs attic which isn’t any old attic! It provides the home with extra space while having the feel of a traditional cottage with exposed beams and a small timber stair well. It has been built with the thought of visiting family in mind and is currently used as a third bedroom and was a much loved sewing space. It also features its own bathroom.
Down stairs you enter into a formal lounge room with an open fireplace that has been converted to modern heating. Either side of the hall holds two comfortable bedrooms with double brick rendered walls and traditional low weatherboard ceilings. The main bathroom has been fitted tastefully with a modern take on the old claw foot bath tub. To the east of the home is a great office space, laundry and 3rd bathroom with a toilet and shower.
The best feature of this home is the open plan family room towards the back of the house. The kitchen is light and airy with charming features such as french windows and quality appliances, after all what mother wouldn’t appreciate a 6 burner natural gas stove. All the members of the family will appreciate this space and make it the centre of their home lifestyle.
Landscaping on the home has been well thought through with minimal maintenance but receiving the appearance of a manicured garden and lawn. The front features a privacy hedge and lavender bushes followed by turf and the rear yard with a vegie patch and pebbled drive for the two car gar
