The property has been in the same family ownership since building commenced in the mid 1950’s. The weatherboard cottage has very sound bones, and was certainly built to last giving new owners a strong foundation to restore or modernise. The cottage was rewired in 2018 and new meter box installed. Heating is provided by a freestanding wood heater and heating of the cottage is very effective given its modest size. Timber flooring is capable of stripping back to polish and expose the grain. The interior cladding is original masonite lining and the interior paint scheme is reflective of the era in many rural homesteads of the 1950’s and 60’s and relining and or repaint would freshen and brighten the interior. The kitchen is a modest galley style with electric stove and kitchen sink and cabinet leading into an open plan living and dining room off which the two bedrooms are accessed.
