Behind its storybook setting lies an iconic circa-1900 homestead, surrounded by gardens nurtured over decades and 11 acres (approx.) of peaceful, picture-perfect land. Positioned in one of Berwick’s most historically significant and tightly held locations, The Cottage is a place of rare charm and even rarer potential.

With no restrictions or overlays, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity limited only by imagination.
Held within the same family for more than three decades, it has been lovingly preserved, thoughtfully enhanced, and deeply cherished. The Cottage was originally a part of the Sewell family, used as holiday accommodation, Today, it stands as a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern comfort.
The kitchen features a traditional combustion wood stove alongside an electric oven, gas cooktop, under-bench fridge, and generous storage. Flowing from here is a cosy lounge with open fireplace and an elegant formal dining area. The master bedroom is a retreat of timeless luxury, offering a beautifully appointed ensuite with stone benchtops and Perrin & Rowe fixtures, while French doors capture postcard-perfect garden views and open to a private balcony.
