Set amongst established gardens, Camellia Cottage is a beautifully renovated 1940s home on two titles, blending country character with modern comfort. Nestled in a private setting yet moments from local amenities and key commuter routes to the City, Derwent Valley, and Midlands, this property offers the perfect balance of serenity, convenience, and future potential.
Capturing elevated views of the Derwent River, the home enjoys light-filled living and sunrooms that embrace the outlook. Accommodation includes three generous bedrooms, a stylishly updated bathroom with large custom shower, and an open-plan kitchen and dining area flowing effortlessly to a private entertaining deck.
Original timber floorboards meet sleek modern tiling, while ceiling roses, decorative architraves, and Art Deco details reflect the home's heritage. With a light repaint and re-sanding of the original floors, the cottage would easily return to its most stunning presentation — the kind of easy, high-impact refresh that lets its character truly shine.
Outdoor spaces have been designed with lifestyle and practicality in mind. A spacious deck and paved courtyard offer ideal spots for entertaining, surrounded by fruit trees, herbs, and cottage gardens. Dual driveways and a removable main gate provide ample off-street parking and easy access.
The rebuilt garage, renovated workshop, and insulated studio add valuable flexibility — perfect for a creative workspace, home business, or storage. A powered greenhouse with water connection further enhances the property's versatility, ideal for gardening enthusiasts or relaxed outdoor living.
Modern upgrades include solar panels, reverse-cycle heating, and a sunroom extension connecting seamlessly to the deck, creating a bright and inviting multipurpose space.
Positioned just minutes from the best of the Derwent Valley lifestyle, Camellia Cottage places you close to Stefano Lubiana Wines, The Agrarian Kitchen, local cherry farms, and the antique-lined charm of New Norfolk's cafés and riverside dining — the very experiences people travel for, right on your doorstep.
Surrounded by recent local improvements — including the new Bridgewater Bridge, parklands with playground and BBQ facilities, and improved highway access — this home is ideally positioned to enjoy both current comfort and future growth.
All the hard work has been done — with only a few simple cosmetic touches, you can make Camellia Cottage shine once again. A home of warmth, flexibility, and charm, it will appeal to downsizers, young families, and professionals seeking that perfect blend of heritage, lifestyle, and location.
