Nestled in a fragrant cottage garden, historic Railway Cottage has been brought up to the minute with a recent renovation on an easily maintained 360m2 site.
The cottage has been used at various times over the past 25 years as a family home and for holiday letting. The owner has built up a strong clientele over these years who delight in the ambience of this ‘home away from home’.
Tastefully furnished, this charming cottage has all the conveniences of modern day living. Three bedrooms with built in robes, two with ensuite bathrooms – one large enough to house washing machine and dryer. The third single bedroom has an office area which can be locked away out of sight. Also hidden away is new plumbing, wiring, insulated walls and ceilings, new timbers, windows and plasterwork throughout.
There are two living zones both with original fireplaces and surrounds. One houses a gas log fire, the other a wood burning fireplace.
The large open plan kitchen is the hub of the house. Filled with light and winter sun it features a cast iron gas log stove which can heat the whole house, stunning stone benches and island bar, provincial style cupboards, natural gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, pull out pantry and an abundance of cupboards and deep drawers.
A timber decked courtyard opens off the kitchen with double doors. It is a lovely private space surrounded by established trees and shrubs.
A large single garage with remote timber door will house a large car with plenty of storage and workbench space.
Railway Cottage is in a prime Port Fairy location, opposite the footbridge leading to Moyne River wharf and beyond to the East Beach. In the other direction it’s just a short block to shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants.
Last year Port Fairy was voted by UNESCO as the world’s most liveable city with a population under 20,000, making it a perfect place for anyone seeking a property for investment, weekender or home for a sea/tree change lifestyle.
An inspection will reveal all the charm of this property. To be sold fully furnished (WIWO).
