Overview

Blue Wren Cottage is a charming weatherboard residence dating back to circa 1800, radiating period character that is enhanced by its high ceilings and warm atmosphere. This character-filled home boasts a unique layout with two comfortable bedrooms on the ground floor and a notably appealing third bedroom tucked away upstairs, offering a blend of privacy and traditional charm.

The open-plan kitchen and living area serves as a welcoming hub, ideal for everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a separate bathroom and toilet that add to the functionality of the home. While the property is comfortable and practical in its current state, it presents the opportunity for future owners to invest in enhancements and personalise the space further.

Outside, the established cottage garden featuring roses creates a tranquil setting, providing an appealing outdoor space for relaxation or gatherings. Additional outdoor features include an entertaining area and a garden shed, alongside convenient and secure remote-access off-street parking, making this home practical as well as inviting.

Located close to the inner-city amenities, residents benefit from the proximity to City Park, with major shopping options such as Coles and Kmart directly opposite and easy access to the Launceston CBD within walking distance. This combination of heritage charm, potential for personalisation, and convenient location makes the property a fitting choice for buyers seeking a distinctive home with character in a well-established urban setting.
