From the moment you walk up onto the wisteria covered verandah and see the hammock, you sense the relaxed atmosphere. Turn to face the water and delight the eyes with the view, which extends out over Frederick Henry Bay to Mt Wellington. Inside, the original verandah has been converted to a neat kitchen area with windows along its full length, allowing in plenty of light. The central area, which consist of an open-plan lounge and two bedrooms, was reputedly once used as a hunting lodge by Henry Jones, prior to relocation of the cottage. The cosy feel is enhanced by an open fire and tapered ceilings which, together with the insulated roof and discreet panel heaters, ensure sufficient warmth during the colder months. The large room at the rear of the cottage captures the morning sun, lending it to use as a breakfast area, studio, or third bedroom. A shaded nook leading from this room offers the perfect relaxation area. The gently sloping block (of some 764 m2) is bordered by established native trees which enhance the privacy, while the cottage garden is an oasis of colour and perfume. A double sized garage acts as additional water catchment feeding the two 9,000L tanks. The property is located only 800 metres from local shops and services, 900 metres from Carlton Beach where you can surf and 300 metres from Red Ochre Beach, enjoyed by families of all ages. An excellent launching ramp with jetty, shops and Dodges Ferry Primary School are also close at hand. So if you are looking for something, a little different, in a tranquil setting and with potential, then don’t let this one pass you by.
