130 Main Road, Tunbridge TAS 7120

In the historic Midlands village of Tunbridge, this character-filled Victorian weatherboard cottage has been tastefully refurbished to offer the best of country living.

Two front room which have been incorporated into large living area lead into the open plan dining and kitchen with view to pastureland and mountains.
From the kitchen, a set of double doors open on to a large, paved patio area under an established gnarled tree, an ideal spot for morning coffee or entertaining family and friends. The kitchen offers an island bench and an ample amount of cupboard storage with modern cooking appliances.

The accommodation comprises two large and light-filled bedrooms (one with a newly created en-suite), high decorative metal pressed ceilings bordered by ornate cornices. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.

A new and full sized second bathroom has been created which incorporates the laundry. For all-year-round comfort, Rosebank Cottage has a reverse cycle air conditioner, enclosed wood burner and electric wall-heaters for temperature control.

Set upon a sizeable 0.3743ha (0.924 acre) fully fenced allotment, divided into different areas. A newly planted orchard with three-year-old fruit trees; raised vegetable garden and grazing paddock; ideal for a small flock of sheep or free-range chickens.
Around the cottage are newly created low maintenance gardens with fast-growing conifers and hedges. A lock-up garden shed and access from Ballochmyle Road into the rear paddock provide options for storage of garden tools or off-street parking for larger machinery.

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 and 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.

Rosebank Cottage is for those wishing to live the dream. To arrange a private inspection, feel free to contact Nick Hay at Harcourts Northern Midlands.
