Built in 1910, this gorgeous home has been beautifully restored to highlight the charm and character of its era including polished timber floors; pressed-metal ceilings; lead-light features; fireplaces; a slow-combustion stove (plus a modern gas/electric one for convenience); and renovations have included a new bathroom and kitchen; new wiring and plumbing; professionally painted inside and out; and more.
The cottage facade belies the amazing space and light within and offers three, double bedrooms; a cosy sitting room (with views over the back gardens); a bright lounge room; an open plan dining room and lovely, country kitchen; and a stylish bathroom. A wide, timber deck wraps around three sides of the house great for entertaining or quiet, sheltered areas for relaxing. There is a 10m x 6m shed and a second toilet in the laundry room.
The house sits well back from the road on approx. 5 acres which is currently used as a Hobby Farm and Alpaca Breeding Stud. There are 3, well-fenced paddocks with additional electric fencing; a pig enclosure; chicken coop; and excellent vegetable gardens. The back boundary of the property is a creek that would be accessible for irrigation if required and makes a wonderful picnic spot in summer!
Town water is connected and there are large water tanks for rain collection to use on the established gardens and fruit trees. Brighton is a 5 minute drive away with Schools, shops, etc.; approx. 10 minute drive to Richmond; around 20 minutes to the major shopping centre of Glenorchy and it is just over a 30 minute drive to Hobart.
