115 Swamp Road, Franklin TAS 7113

This one has a bit of everything you are looking for when moving to the country. Starting with the spacious character cottage that is packed with country charm. Add some verandahs and two large sunny decks for entertaining friends and family. Wrap it all up with a lovely garden setting. Attach a fully fenced grassy backyard that is safe for the pets and kids to run around in. Strategically place a few mature fruit trees that include a pear and a mulberry tree. Place an old timber barn in the back corner. Don't forget a huge Colorbond shed complete with concrete floor, power and insulation, out the back with a large level parking area for plenty of play-space and all weather storage. Add on 3.3 acres (1.367ha) of well drained pasture paddocks. Make sure there is some good elevation and position it all just off the end of a sealed road access. Provide a northerly aspect for great all year round sun and a beautiful valley vista of course. Sounding a touch idyllic? Well that is because it is.

This home is really all that and more. Inside there is plenty of charm. The kitchen even comes with a wood burning stove as well as a nice new conventional cooker. The dining is a formal space complete with an feature open fireplace, right in the middle of the house between the kitchen and the lounge. The bedrooms are all spacious and all have their own original open fire place features too. The hallway is very beautiful with the high ceilings and the timber floors adding great appeal. The lounge was added on at a later stage and is a large spacious room with a free standing wood fire to keep you snug all year round. The central family bathroom does well in keeping with the country feel that this lovely home exudes.

Positioned up around 1km off the main highway and just on the edge of the riverside town of Franklin makes this spot very attractive. To top it all off, it is within 10 minutes to Huonville (the hub of the Huon Valley where you will find all your shops and services) and a very picturesque 40 minute drive to the Hobart CBD. Franklin is a quaint historical township with a strong focus on the river, wooden boats and the old Palais theatre where the community regularly meets for the markets, movie nights and dance balls. The Franklin community is know for its diversity and many interesting characters. This property allows you to be part of the action when you want to be or the ability to simply enjoy the peace and privacy of your own country escape.
