Beyond the picket fence, flourishing cottage garden, and swathe of lush lawn, is this charming 1840's sandstone cottage.
This elegant residence is settled comfortably on a gently sloping 4500sqm allotment and offers sweeping pastoral and mountain views.
Located in the picturesque and historic village of Pontville, just 30 minutes from the city of Hobart, you will not want to miss this rare opportunity to acquire your very own slice of colonial Australian history.
Original features such as characterful raked ceilings, fireplaces, rich honey-toned joinery mellowed with age, high ceilings and exquisite exposed sandstone walls abound in this much-loved home and are sure to delight lovers of both history and style.
Set over two levels, the principal living areas are located on the lower floor. One is a more formal affair, whilst the other offers garden views, a cosy gas heater with a relaxed ambience, and easy access to a paved and terraced outdoor entertaining area.
The contemporary lines of the well-sized modern, fully renovated kitchen contrast with a Victorian era cast-iron wood-fired range, tied together nicely by polished timber floorboards and hewn sandstone.
There are two spacious bedrooms - one upstairs and one down. The upper level bedroom is generously-sized, with a built-in robe, ample storage, and exposed beams. Adjacent is a spacious parent/teenage retreat.
The bathroom is crisply white with eye-catching leadlight feature windows, stone walls, with a bathtub, toilet, and vanity storage, plus linen closet & luxurious under floor heating.
Outside is where you'll find the old blacksmith's shop that now serves as a workshop with an attached carport providing undercover parking for two small vehicles. Other outbuildings include a powered studio, complete with a fireplace, & water connected, and also a handy garden shed close by. There's plenty of scope for green thumbs to extend the established garden which already yields fruit trees & a variety of other plantings.
