If you have been looking for a small acreage lifestyle house and land holding in the Westbury area of Tasmania, I don't have to tell you that not only are they as rare as hen's teeth, but you will need at least half a million bucks to even start the buy in process.
So, if I told you Team Smith @ Harcourts Meander Valley have just listed a cottage on 5000m2 or approximately 1 ¼ acres in the old scale, and the price to purchase is no where near the above figure, you should be excited. You should be very excited.
Sitting mysteriously behind established gardens, this 1800's, 3-bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage is just enchanting. A sheltered garden gate leads you to the front veranda that acts almost like a front courtyard with cool sheltered sitting spaces aplenty. From there you step inside to a traditional central hallway with a bedroom either side, and still the charm of yesteryear in abundance. At the end of the hall, you will emerge into a large occasional living space, sunny and bright in summer, and warm and snuggly in wintertime.
From the occasional living space go right into a very functional farmhouse style kitchen or left into a formal sitting room with wood fire and impressive pressed metal ceilings. To complete this section of the home a large master bedroom with exterior access and ornate open fire, and more pressed metal ceilings create intrigue and texture to this character filled dwelling.
The 'wet' area is at the rear of the home, and contains standard bathroom, separate WC, and large laundry/ washroom and 'boot room'.
At the back of this cute creation is a very large under cover entertaining area. Facing almost direct north, it remains warm and inviting even on the chilliest of days and gives a lucky purchaser a raft of options in the lifestyle department.
Wow, what a garden of discovery. Mature ornamentals and fruit trees abound, and so do sheds. Sheds absolutely every where, some with power and water, some with concrete floors, some to keep, some to move on, but the beauty is in the having!
Standout property features include a subdued private space and feel, many original features throughout the home, wood and split system/ electric heating, convict-built water well that is still in operation, good orientation, great architectural bones, ceiling space storage via a pull-down stair, and a cavalcade of outdoor sheds.
This quaint colonial/ period style cottage has been loved and well lived in over its many years, and it has served its masters well. The opportunity is now with you! Very liveable, move in while you plan and eventually implement your magazine style transformation of this grand little lady. Enjoy the space, turn the garden, and watch the sunsets from the back entertainer. Not expected to last, so time is of the essence. Please call the team to book your inspection, we would love to show you through.
