111 Main Road, Tunbridge TAS 7120

Set in the Southern Midlands village of Tunbridge, 'Wayside' is a beautifully maintained art-deco character cottage. Constructed in 1937 by relatives of the current owner, the home serviced as accommodation for the extended Powell family, who held the licensee of the nearby 'Victoria Hotel' during the 1930s to 1940s. The current owner acquired the property when she was 30-years of age and has lived at 111 Main Road for 60 years. Comprising 173 square meters (18.26 sqm) of floor space, 'Wayside' has plenty of original finishes throughout and offers the following:
- Two spacious bedrooms with built-in wardrobes in both rooms.
- Formal lounge/family room with a recently updated pellet heater for temperature control.
- Formal living room flows into a sunroom and office; easily converted into a third bedroom.
- Separate spacious kitchen/dining room. The kitchen extension was completed in the mid-1990s with plenty of cupboard space, an upright Westinghouse oven and a breakfast bar for meal preparation.
- Retro bathroom with shower over bathtub.
- Wet room/laundry and separate toilet.
- High art-deco timber panelling accompanying the leadlight windows.
- Connected to town water with an above ground water storage tank and septic sewerage.

Set upon a double title 2410 sqm (0.595 acres) parcel of land, locals and tourists would travel to Tunbridge to photograph the current owner's classic country garden. A passionate grower of stem roses, offering a beautiful aroma as you enter the home and walk up to the front door of 'Wayside'. Alongside the established stem roses, pencil pines, lavender bushes, and a weeping willow tree in the backyard offer a beautiful country garden to maintain the legacy of the current owner. A double lock-up barn, single open carport with potting shed and gardener's toilet provide undercover storage for vehicles and gardening equipment.

Located along the Midland Highway, Tunbridge (known originally as Tunbridge Wells after the famous English spa town) is a historic village only 15 minutes drive to the Southern Midlands hub of Oatlands or a similar distance north to Campbell Town, only 10 minutes to the historic Ross. Set on the Blackman River banks, the township is bypassed by the main Midland Highway, giving its tranquil charm well removed from the highway's urgency. Tunbridge features a Community Club within walking distance of this address, and several community events are conducted within the village at the local Town Hall. Drive-by postal and essential grocery items can be delivered by Australia Post. Tunbridge is a little over an hour's drive to the major centres of Launceston or Hobart.
