Overview
Bridge Cottage consists of two heritage-listed cottages, Armoury and Sergeants Cottages, built in 1823 by convicts during the construction of Richmond Bridge. This exceptional property provides a unique opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of Tasmanian colonial heritage.
Situated in one of Tasmania’s most iconic locations, the property overlooks the renowned Richmond Bridge and the peaceful Coal River, offering one of the most coveted positions within Richmond's historic Georgian village. All essential amenities including cafes, shops, schools, supermarkets, and local attractions are within walking distance. Hobart’s central business district and the Hobart International Airport are approximately a 20-minute drive away.
The two cottages are co-joined but separated by a firewall, recognized as independent residences. Each cottage features a welcoming lounge with an original open fireplace, a generously sized bedroom, a country-style kitchen, additional living and dining spaces with wood heating, bathroom and laundry facilities, as well as private courtyard gardens.
Original timber floorboards integrate seamlessly with high ceilings, skylights, French doors, and other heritage details to create an authentic and charming atmosphere. Underfloor heating throughout the living and bathroom areas provides comfortable year-round living. The outlook across manicured rose gardens towards the Richmond Bridge adds to the picturesque setting.
This property currently holds a Council-approved Visitor Accommodation Licence and has a successful track record as boutique visitor accommodation, appealing to guests drawn to the charm, history, and romance inherent in such a distinctive property.

Set upon a generous 802 square meter parcel of land zoned General Residential, the property combines ample space with flexibility, located in the heart of historic Richmond.
