Set opposite a fern gully so lush it could’ve been plucked from a fairytale, this darling brick cottage is as sweet as can be - brimming with old-fashioned character and perched on a blissful 1045m² (approx.) of magic. Whether you're a first home buyer, downsizer, investor or just someone who’s always dreamt of life with a camellia-framed secret garden, this one’s for you.
The stonework-edged driveway winds you into a world of greenery, where every window feels like a still-life painting of garden scenes. Inside, the charm is palpable. Leadlight sash windows filter dappled light through diamond panes. Parquetry floors in the sunroom gleam softly. There are ceiling roses and picture rails, cornices with flourish, and a Nectre cast iron wood stove that’s more than just kitchen art – it’s functional and toasty, but if you're in a rush, the SMEG stainless-steel cooker has you covered too.
Two robed bedrooms and a beautifully updated central bathroom with stone vanity and frameless shower provide comfort and calm – one with an enchanting bed alcove and plantation shutters, while a rear mudroom nook is the perfect drop zone for gumboots after a good morning in the veggie patch. There’s a gas log fire in the lounge, a split system and ducted heating for comfort, and timber floors underfoot connecting it all with warmth.
Outside, it’s a garden-lover’s paradise. Tiered layers bloom with personality - stonework, manicured hedges, camellias, ferns and flat lawn - and there’s a paved alfresco for summer barbeques and a covered entertaining zone tucked in the secret garden above. Perfect for long lunches or wild little tea parties. A separate studio with its own sink invites creativity, guests, a gym, art retreat or working from home with the birdsong as your playlist.
Underneath, there’s a single garage, and plenty of storage. It’s practical, yes - but more than that, it’s poetic. Nestled in peace, yet just minutes from the buzz of Belgrave, with Puffing Billy’s whistle in the distance and Killik Handcrafted Rum just down the road. You’ll feel a million miles away… until you realise everything you need is five minutes down the road.
