Overview

Set within approximately 2,000 square metres of beautifully established gardens in the historic village of Chewton, this mid-1800s heritage cottage offers a rare blend of historic charm and natural sanctuary. The classic sandstone and timber construction, along with period details such as brick floors, coved ceilings, and French doors, lend a timeless character that complements the home's comfortable and inviting interiors.

Inside, the property features two bedrooms and a generously sized dining and sitting area warmed by a Scandinavian wood stove cooker. The presence of a cosy retreat with an open fireplace adds to the home's warmth and homely appeal, while the claw-foot bath and separate shower provide traditional comforts.

The outdoor space is a leafy haven, prized for its mature plantings including elegant tree peonies, perennial peonies, and a majestic Bunya pine. The garden is also an edible paradise, cultivated with a diverse collection of fruit and nut trees such as quince, Nashi pear, pistachio, apple, olive, pomegranate, and more, blending aesthetic beauty with productivity.

Brick courtyards and stone steps enhance the outdoor charm alongside a single garage and a woodland garden extending to the rear.
The property is connected to essential utilities including water and sewer, with the convenience of an external WC.
Its location overlooks the Chewton Recreation Oval and is near walking trails through historic gold diggings and the iconic Garfield Waterwheel, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and a connection to local history.

This home is an ideal sanctuary for those who appreciate heritage architecture combined with a peaceful, nature-rich setting. It suits buyers seeking a lifestyle immersed in country living rhythms, prioritizing character, garden privacy, and a connection with the village’s historic fabric.
