46 Burghley Street, Longford TAS 7301

This property is situated in one of the oldest towns in Tasmania where character homes abound - and none is more appealing than this circa 1900 weatherboard cottage. In addition, this is such a unique offering with two additional structures on this flat 1633 m2 (approx.) corner block.

The home has been sensitively renovated in recent years but the original character shines through with Baltic pine dados, high ceilings, north facing French door, front bay window and original windows. The floorplan is a classic one with the lounge and large main bedroom at the front, with two bedrooms on either side of the hallway in the middle of the home. Stairs in this area take you up to a dormer bedroom or studio which offers great views over the leafy surrounds.

The kitchen/dining area is very light and bright with a bay window over the sink area for your herb garden. The remaining space is flexible enough to accommodate a large kitchen table or extra sideboards or display cupboards. There is also scope for extra cabinetry if desired.

The bathroom and laundry are at the rear opposite the kitchen area. The bathroom offers a large shower, period style claw foot bath, pedestal hand basin and toilet. A second toilet is in the adjacent laundry.

There are two al-fresco decks - one which is enclosed with clearlite (great for a winter pot area) and the other is north facing with French door access to the home. There is also an attractive traditional verandah at the front.

Additional surprises are in store - a separate 38 sqm rumpus room with wood heater, plus two separate studio/storage rooms are situated along the western side of the block only a short distance from the house. This could be a great place for the kids or as a hobby/business space. The store room showcases rustic timbers and flooring which connects to the era.

A separate 81 m2 one bedroom unit is situated on the north west corner of the block with access from Malcombe Street. This has been purpose-built to accommodate a disabled person, and is currently being rented out at $210 per week till Oct 21. Rustic cladding has been used to blend in with the surroundings and the side carport offers under cover access.

Heating is fully covered with wood heaters in both lounge and separate rumpus; heat pump in the lounge and kitchen area, and a heat pump in the unit. A double carport for the home has an additional storage shed behind it for garden tools etc.

The is an entirely unique and wonderful property which will certainly charm you on inspection. Don't miss out on this rare chance to purchase.
