18 Buckley Street, Bendigo VIC 3550

On offer is the opportunity to continue the vision of bringing this lady back to life. Constructed in solid sandstone and red brick and dating back to the late 1880s, this property was home to a family who appreciated Bendigo's history, native flora and fauna, and most importantly, enjoyed the generous allotment within a small radius of many amenities.

Considered to be of contributory significance within the Bannerman Street Heritage Precinct, this property began its journey as a Miners Cottage and was then added to when the success of Bendigo's early goldrush days proved fruitful.

Externally, you will notice that most of the rough cast stucco has been removed to reveal the beautiful local sandstone underneath. The bullnose verandah adds Victorian character and upon entering the home, you discover a cosy sitting room and with a bedroom to the left.

Stepping down to the open living space, two more bedrooms are located to the left, with the main featuring a leadlight box bay window, added in the 1990s, when the addition at the rear was also added.

Exposed internal brick walls, timber lined ceilings, original timber floors and open fireplaces also feature throughout the home.

Set on a generous allotment of 1297m2, reclaimed brick pathways meander through the backyard where evidence of times enjoyed by a young family long ago can be found. A 6 x 4m shed and a small garden shed are also found on the site.

A diamond in the rough, this is a rare opportunity for the builder/renovator seeking a special home steeped in our gold rush history.

Minutes to the local IGA, Bendigo Showgrounds, local cafes, Catherine McAuley College (senior campus), QEO and Bendigo's famed arts precinct.
