7 Manchester Street, Chewton VIC 3451

Utterly endearing, this circa 1860s solid red brick residence on approximately 3.5 acres encapsulates the epitome of period character. Tucked away on the edge of Castlemaine you'd never know this hidden gem is here. Set in a gorgeous cottage garden lending delightful vistas to 3 downstairs bedrooms and overlooked by another bedroom upstairs, this property is picture perfect. Separated from the street by a picket fence, a verandah shelters the entrance to an interior lined with timber ceilings and slate as well as timber floors. Already refurbished, an up to date dine-in kitchen contains a dishwasher plus other modern appliances, though wooden cabinetry thoughtfully complements the era of home. The formal dining room has an ideal spot for a sitting area in a sunny bay window, and the lounge is large and filled with daylight. There is a heater to cosy up to on cold nights plus solar power supplies a massive bonus, enabling extreme energy savings when running the reverse cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans. Amongst the oak and other lofty trees, a shed and double carport complete this treasure. Close to many local shops, services and amenities, this could be your home, sweet home.
