Sheltered behind two magnificent rhododendrons sits this charming weatherboard cottage offering character and flexibility, within the beautiful village of Stanley. Entering from underneath the bull nose veranda, you will find 2 carpeted bedrooms leading off the central hallway. These feature ornate pressed metal ceilings and double hung windows. Bedroom 1 enjoys a dressing room, or morning room, overlooking the garden. A spacious living area welcomes you with its homely wood heater. French doors take you through to what would make an ideal office space or breakfast room. This has previously been utilised as a third bedroom. An appealing kitchen is generous in size and offers plenty of bench space and storage, adjacent to the dining area. The bathroom with a shower and vanity, sits between the laundry room and separate toilet. The enclosed back verandah makes for an ideal place to while away the hours with a book, or to entertain friends. Situated on 902m2 of freehold land with rich and fertile soil, the established gardens are a joy in every season with amazing displays of colour, whilst the Stanley Recreation Reserve, sitting behind the property, promotes peace and privacy. With an amazing landscape to explore so close to the Victorian snow fields, and within easy access to Beechworth, Wangaratta, Albury-Wodonga and gourmet food and wine regions, this is the idyllic escape to the country.
