This 1860′s Colonial Cottage has witnessed much of Barossa life slip by from the early horse & cart days 150 years ago perched here at the town’s entrance. If solid stone walls could talk, there’d be much more to learn of Tanunda’s story here.
In need of restoration yet more than livable, the Cottage overlooks the tall gums of Heinemann Park & Tanunda Caravan Park to the rear. A thick ivy hedge with an archway carved through, an old climbing rose, jasmine & twin pencil pines create a private frame around this cottage built of stone.
The rooms within are of large proportions to serve the renovator well. The floor plan offers two original front rooms & a spacious open plan living room with lovely wide floor boards, quirky corner kitchen & slow combustion heater on its top level. A handful of steps lead down a split level to the hallway space, where wet areas are located to one side & another large room featuring exposed stone walls & huge original fireplace is to the other, an ideal separate dining room displaying wine storage against its rustic stone walls or a good sized third bedroom dependent on your vision for the property.
Increase the lifestyle potential of this property by opening up the living space to the great outdoors, add a timber decked area to the rear of the cottage & convert windows to French doors that will take life out to the open air treetop setting (stcc).
The Cottage is positioned on a nice 1322sqm slice of earth in the ‘Recreation’ zone, with a garage, shaded pergola & rainwater storage. Sure, there’s plenty to do here to bring this property up to its full potential, but for those with a love of history, character & the opportunity of reinvention, this little place could capture your renovation imagination.
