Built in 1890, this charming cottage sits on a manageable 432m2 block and is ideally set up as a Bed and Breakfast should that be of interest, or would make a lovely family home. The home has had upgrades for comfort over the years, but still retains a lot of the original features including wide, polished timber floors, high skirting boards, sash windows, open fire places, and high ceilings. The upgrades to the home includes reverse-cycle air conditioning for year-round comfort, a quaint country kitchen with commercial oven suitable for running the Bed and Breakfast, or feeding the whole family. There is a garage for the car and out back there are storage sheds, workshop space or art studio. The gardens are lovely and really complete the picture.
