Since it was built in the early 1840′s, there have been many, many chapters added to the story of this charming cottage’s life. Beyond the picket fence, a decades old climbing rose, and over the sandstone threshold, is a cottage which has seen many updates throughout the years, but still retains character features aplenty; such as fireplace mantels, doors with their ornate rim locks and leadlight still intact, and original bead-board ceilings. Romance aside, this characterful dwelling is perfectly suited to a busy life in the 21st century, and well-positioned right on the city’s doorstep! An easy walk to the CBD, schools and the hospital, and handy to a major bus route, you’ll have little need for a car.
This cosy brick and weatherboard home offers two nicely-sized bedrooms. Their low doorways and unique joinery are a quirky feature, and reminiscent of an English country cottage. The comfortable living and dining rooms each feature a generous fireplace with ornate timber mantels, neat carpet and paint. An inbuilt wood-fire in the living room provides warmth and ambience, complemented by electric heating in the adjacent dining room. The updated kitchen features easy-care laminate cabinetry, dishwasher and upright stove, and its northerly aspect captures the Tassie sunshine and overlooks the remnants of a traditional cottage garden. The bathroom has also been updated, is neat and functional with a shower, bath and vanity storage.
Outside, the decently-sized level yard is securely fenced, private, and mostly laid to lawn. A garden shed clad in rusticated weatherboards is a nice touch, and provides handy storage.
