A unique opportunity to purchase a 138-year-old three-bedroom cottage together with a modern, two bedroom 10 year old home, all on approximately 5500 sq. metres of land. The original cottage is historically significant as it is one of the last remaining cottages in the shire. The cottage is a good example of a late nineteenth century farm style residence.

The cottage was originally built in 1885 but was allowed to fall into disrepair. In 2002, it was purchased by the current owners and fully restored over a ten year period in accordance with the requirements and oversight of the NSW Department of Planning, Heritage Branch. A single storey two bedroom home, which is the current owners residence, was designed to take a similar form to the cottage but in a contemporary style to clearly distinguish it from the cottage.

The Heritage cottage comprises a handcrafted and designed elmwood kitchen, built from elmwood sourced from the property. It also has 3 bedrooms, a dining area, lounge and bathroom. It is surrounded by a verandah 1.8 metres wide. The original stonework has been repointed inside and out and both fireplaces and chimneys have been restored and ceilings insulated. The cottage is connected to the new home by a large deck fitted with outdoor blinds.
The new home comprises two bedrooms, an open plan kitchen/ lounge/ dining area, computer/office nook, bathroom and garage. It has solar power for hot water. Windows are Smart Glass and all sliding doors are double-glazed. Floors are made from Flooded Rose Gum timber.

There is a large shed with power and water, currently used as a garage/workshop and has its own bar and shower. All shed walls and ceilings are insulated.

The large established garden is to the front and sides of both properties and to the rear is a large fully fenced paddock.
The cottage lends itself to holiday rentals, being located in close proximity to the Tumbarumba /Rosewood Rail Trail, NSW's first Rail Trail. The 22 Km Rail Trail opened in 2020, since then it has recorded over 50,000 riders and provides a significant economic boost to both Rosewood and Tumbarumba(tumbarumbatorosewoodrailtrail.com)To assist in the opportunity for rental, the cottage is being offered with the option to purchase it furnished with period furniture to match its heritage, some being original to the cottage.
