Built for the Station Master in 1926 – and featured in Pomona Museum – this once neglected building has been transformed into the prettiest of country cottages by the current owner.
But that’s no surprise if you have ever visited her popular Montville shop, Belle Beauty & Fragrance, with its many gorgeous designer pieces for sale.
It’s all here: the VJ walls and high ceilings, ornate wrought iron balustrades, intricate fretwork, French doors and more.
This is original 1920s charm meets on-trend shabby chic, right down to the period chandeliers.
But walk through the house to the rear and you’ll discover an amazing Hamptons-style indoor/outdoor entertaining area!
Perfectly peaceful and secluded, this will quickly become your favourite spot, with the sparkling swimming pool and spa, outdoor seating and dining areas, and waterfall.
But that’s just the start. The indoor/outdoor room, brimming with light thanks to the oversized windows, reveals a kitchen with authentic pizza oven plus barbecue and bar.
There’s a lovely guest bedroom/sitting room, too, with a walk-in robe and room for an ensuite.
Step back in time in the cottage itself, with three pretty bedrooms – one air-conditioned; bathroom, air-conditioned lounge with a pot belly stove, and a dining area big enough for an 8-seater table.
The kitchen is surprisingly spacious, combining white cottage-style cupboards and shelves, with a modern 5-burner DeLonghi gas stove and Bosch dishwasher. There’s room for an oversized fridge, too.
French doors open from two of the bedrooms to the pretty front verandah, and a floating timber floor flows throughout – with a bonus! The original wide hoop pine timber floor boards are still in place and could be restored.
A rare find in the area is the amount of off-street parking available here, with side access both sides of the cottage for three to four cars PLUS your boat or caravan – and room for a shed or garage.
There’s town water and mains sewerage, plus the bonus of enough solar power to cover your bills AND earn you money!
A new roof and all new plumbing has recently been added, while LED lights throughout the outdoor entertaining area and gardens add a pretty and economical touch.
Fully-fenced with a dog-proof yard, there’s even a white picket fence at the front to complete this picture-perfect village residence.
There’s scope here for a new owner to add their own finishing touches to this delightful home, just walking distance from the village shops, cafes and school.
Snap up this beauty in picturesque Pomona and you’re not only buying a lovely home – but an important slice of hinterland history, too!
