Circa 1840, Convict brick, 3 bedroom cottage, positioned on a 2023m2 (1/2 acre) parcel of land straight across a crown reserve along the banks of the beautiful Huon River and the main street. This property enjoys uninterrupted views out over the water and is an easy, level walk up the street to the centre of Franklin.
In Franklin you will find cafes, restaurants, antiques, a quaint general store & PO, the Ye Old Franklin pub, the Lady Franklin hotel and a grassy waterfront park land along the river banks. A strong community spirit is evident here and a real sense of preservation of Franklins unique History makes this little town very appealing. Franklin is also home to the famous wooden boat centre.
The house offers 3 bedrooms with the potential to re-create a 4th bedroom up in the roof space. The kitchen, dining and lounge are open plan. Two of the bedrooms have open fireplaces and the front bedrooms also have lovely views out to the river.
There is an amazing array of different mature fruit trees, berries and vegetables out the back, your very own market garden. A shed provides good workshop space and a small walk-in cool room is attached, perfect to store the excess fruits, berries and vegetables produced in the garden.
Charming in every way and an iconic building, the cottage also comes with its own private collection of original deeds starting from 1859 to present day. The owner is also prepared to negotiate his yacht and private jetty license if that should be of interest.
Huonville is under 10 minutes north, where you will find all your major services and Hobart CBD is only a picturesque 45 minutes drive. Please contact us for more information, or to arrange an inspection of this charming package.
