This wonderful Georgian sandstone cottage was built in 1841 by Henry Bilton, you must experience this is a fine piece of Tasmanian Midlands History, unique and devotedly restored by its present owner. The house is built directly into a genuine sandstone cliff that even features a cave, reputedly once inhabited by Mathew Brady, a local bushranger.
Entering through the front door an absolute masterpiece, extra thick 6 panel Huon Pine door, with archaic locks and bolts you find yourself in the hallway. You feel as if you have walked into a former era. There are two bedrooms to the right and one to the left, plus a single room or study. At the rear of the home at the end of the hall, down a set of old sandstone steps you find yourself in what was once the original kitchen, now the lounge. This is a large room with a huge fireplace, that now hoses a Saxon wood heater.

Beyond the lounge, at the back of the building, is a somewhat recent addition of a large bathroom, kitchen/dining area and off this by the rear door a laundry. Next to the house is a large double shed used as a garage and workshop. The backyard features a low maintenance backyard and features the original dry stone wall at the rear.
Much of the flooring houses the original swamp gum floorboards. The extraordinarily thick doorways are of Huon pine also. The high skirting boards, front door and picture rails are all of the age and the finish of the Huon Pine window frames is simply superb.

Words cannot describe the atmosphere in this stunning home, its like stepping back in time to 168 years ago when it was built. The house is 168m2 and sits on a sizeable block of 1439m2. Your own little piece of yesteryear in the quaint village of Oatlands just an hour from Hobart town.
