121 MAIN STREET IN KEMPTON Welcome to Kent Cottage. What a rare and delightful opportunity it is to present 121 Main Street, Kempton. Convict built around 1833, this Georgian style shop residence is a beloved family home and will quite literally take your breath away on arrival. It's imposing and enviable street appeal is only the beginning. Kent Cottage was arguably the longest running shop in Kempton and is impressive in its large proportions as well as presentation with a stunning washed brick exterior and a sympathetically restored interior. Built originally by George Wood, it was sold to Elizabeth Mayhew who kept a general store here until 1881. George Lumsden then ran the Grocery store but expanded it to include a Iron Mongers and drapery. “Lumsden's” continued as a landmark on the old highway until it was sold in 1917. More recently it has run as a petrol station and an Ice creamery. A beautiful building that has stood the test of time and its many different roles. Step inside and you're taken back to another era, enter through a sun basked courtyard to the heart of the home. The kitchen has had a disciplined renovation featuring subway tiles, a double sized Belling oven, perfect for baking and roasting in chilly winter weather. A combustion heater/Bakers oven ensures cosy days bunkered in. Ample bench space and storage and quality fittings gives a modern country kitchen feel. A casual dining area in this zone feeds the masses. Adjoining is a formal dining area featuring the original exposed convict brick wall, ideal for entertaining friends and family. This was once a bustling ice creamery in a previous life. Next is a gorgeous area currently used as an artist space, but is ideal for teenagers; call it a rumpus if you'd like, family room, media room, complete with wood heater. There is a lovingly restored convict brick wall as well as original signs that once adorned the outside of this unique homestead. Reclaimed timber boards from one of the top bedrooms is now a stunning feature. The showstopper of the home is next.
