This quaint weatherboard cottage started its life as the Presbyterian Church at Apsley when it opened for worship on January 13, 1914.
This former place of worship was relocated to Bothwell approximately 30 years ago and has been converted into a very comfortable 2 bedroom cottage. The renovation transformed the dwelling into a modest and comfortable place to live, featuring open plan living, a combined bathroom/toilet, separate laundry, plus good size kitchen with loads of cupboard space.
The main bedroom is located on the mezzanine level; the second bedroom is located just off the lounge area, which could also make a great study. At the rear of the house there is a fantastic undercover deck ideal for entertaining and perfect for those rainy days.
The property is positioned on a 781 m2 flat allotment and has a double zincalum garage. The yard is big – plenty of room caravan, boat and the family dog; and located within easy walking distance to the local shops, hotel and bakery.
Since being repositioned to Bothwell it has been used as a Museum, Gallery and Family Day Care Centre. With council approval it could possibly be used for a commercial enterprise again. Bothwell is a very popular tourist town with a population of around 400. It is situated in central Tasmania on the Clyde River, approximately a 1 hour drive to Hobart.
