This rare property is privately set amidst lush, winding gardens and is conveniently located just two blocks from the town's shops, cafes, and train station, offering both exceptional privacy and accessibility.
The home is rich in history and showcases elegant Georgian architectural influences. Its tuck-pointed brick façade, classic casement windows, an arched entryway, and a wide ornate verandah all contribute to the property's heritage charm. Despite its historical character, the house has been thoughtfully updated to provide modern comfort and functionality.
Inside, the residence exudes warmth and atmosphere, featuring timber floors and original fireplaces equipped with modern heating solutions. French doors and reverse-cycle climate control enhance the living experience, ensuring a comfortable environment year-round.
The front section of the home includes two spacious bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining dressing room, creating a private retreat within the original cottage structure. The central living and kitchen area is designed to maximize natural light, with Velux roof windows flooding the space with sunshine. The kitchen is equipped with premium Miele appliances and high-quality finishes, making it an inviting and practical space for daily living and entertaining guests.
Additional flexibility is provided by a separate studio or third bedroom located at the rear of the property. This area includes its own bathroom and a dedicated study space, making it ideal for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, working from home, or even as an Airbnb opportunity.
The property offers two bathrooms in total and a versatile floor plan that can adapt to various lifestyle needs. A generously sized cellar adds valuable storage space and potential for further development.
Outside, stone pathways wind through established gardens leading to secluded courtyards and tranquil spots perfect for relaxation or entertaining. Mature plantings protect the grounds, offering remarkable privacy and a peaceful atmosphere rarely found so close to the town center.
