In quiet semi-rural surrounds, just under 1km from the historic shopping precinct of town, this beautifully preserved and renovated period cottage features a classic 1860s twin-hipped roof-line with three red brick chimneys and a front verandah outlook stretching across the Beehive Chimney to town and Mt Tarrangower. The light and spacious home features lounge and dining rooms both with open fire places, 2 double bedrooms, reverse cycle air to all main rooms, a light, modern country kitchen with great storage, dishwasher, 900mm stainless steel gas cooker, plus an original cast iron Luxe bread oven - perfect for roasts or afternoon scones! There is a light filled bathroom with shower, claw foot bath, separate toilet and laundry. Adjoining the rear of the home - a screened verandah room provides a great fly free entertaining area for a BBQ or morning coffee, plus a further garden verandah adjoins and overlooks a shady, productive garden with many fruit trees. The generous, yet easy care 1,112m2 (0.27 acre) allotment also features a carport, studio room with reverse cycle air, storage, garden workshop and tank water too. Stroll into town, visit the nearby Historic Train along the way or just enjoy the serenity.
